Talk:Cannula

IV Cannulation
I am disturbed by the fact that I see instruction, esp. medical in this article. I don't have any working knowledge of wikipedia guidelines, but I believe this is a violation. The article also address the reader directly which I think is another violation [ potentially less dangerous however]. PidGin128 from 65.190.216.161 (talk) 09:03, 18 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, well it looks like it has been copied or paraphrased from some sort of medical instruction book aimed at practitioners. It's not referenced either, which doesn't help. Any medical-type people out there that can assist? Freestyle-69 (talk) 06:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Haematoma caused by not puncturing the vein?
I'm not sure about the description of the cause of haematoma given here: the failure to puncture the vein when the cannula is inserted or removed should not lead to haematoma - the opposite would have to be true. PeterBrooks 00:25, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

cannulated rooster or dog?
In animal nutrition research I often see cannualated roosters or dogs mentioned. I have no idea what exactly this means, but I hope someone can add this subject to the article. ike9898 23:12, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Overuse in UK
This describes the cannula's overuse in GB hospitals. May be worth adding. Malick78 (talk) 14:45, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Catheter
The article does not make clear how this differs from a catheter. —DIV (137.111.13.4 (talk) 06:30, 9 June 2021 (UTC))
