When it comes to cannulation, choosing the correct cannula size and colour is paramount for ensuring patient safety, comfort, and treatment efficacy. As a trusted provider of medical supplies, we delve into the intricacies of cannula size and colour, providing a comprehensive guide to empower healthcare professionals in making informed decisions.
Understanding Cannula Size
The size of a cannula refers to its inner diameter, measured in gauge (G). Smaller gauges indicate larger cannulas. The appropriate cannula size is determined by the flow rate required and the characteristics of the patient's veins.
Cannula Gauge | Flow Rate (ml/min) | Typical Use |
---|---|---|
14G | 120-250 | Blood transfusions, rapid fluid resuscitation |
16G | 60-120 | Blood collection, fluid administration |
18G | 30-60 | Blood collection, IV therapy |
20G | 20-30 | Routine blood tests, IV injections |
22G | 10-20 | IV injections, medication administration |
Colour-Coded Cannulas for Ease of Identification
Cannulas are colour-coded according to their gauge, making it easy for healthcare professionals to identify the appropriate size.
Colour | Gauge | Flow Rate (ml/min) |
---|---|---|
Pink | 14G | 120-250 |
Grey | 16G | 60-120 |
Green | 18G | 30-60 |
Yellow | 20G | 20-30 |
Blue | 22G | 10-20 |
