Seattle IV Pro
We specialize in expert IV access and blood draw services for individuals with challenging or previously failed attempts.
Our skilled team is adept at handling difficult cases where traditional methods fall short, using advanced techniques, including ultrasound guidance, to ensure successful and comfortable IV placement.
WHAT WE DO
At Seattle IV Pro, we address a wide range of issues that can complicate IV access, such as:
Dehydration
Shrinks veins, making them harder to locate
Small or Fragile Veins
Naturally small or delicate veins can be challenging.
Obesity
Excess body fat can obscure veins.
Chronic Illness
Conditions like diabetes or cancer can affect vein quality.
Frequent IV Use
Scarring from repeated procedures complicates access.
Edema
Swelling makes veins less visible.
Low Blood Pressure
Collapses or diminishes vein prominence.
Medical Conditions
Disorders like sickle cell anemia or vascular disease complicate placement.
Anxiety or Stress
Causes narrowing of blood vessels.
Poor Circulation
Reduces vein prominence.
Age
Delicate, less elastic veins in elderly patients.
Prior Trauma or Surgery
Scar tissue obstructs vein access.
In addition to our IV services
We offer gastric ultrasound scans to assess the presence of food or liquid in the stomach. This service is essential for patients undergoing procedures that require an empty stomach, especially those taking GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic. Our gastric ultrasound helps ensure that procedures are conducted safely and effectively, reducing risks and improving patient outcomes.
