Prime Saline Flush and Extension Tubing to Remove Air Bubble for IV Insertion 

Priming a saline flush and the extension tubing is important when starting an IV. Many saline flush syringes come with an air bubble inside, and the tubing will also have air inside of it.
If excess air is not removed, there is a risk of an air embolism forming, which can lead to serious complications.
In this video, Nurse Sarah demonstrated how she removes air from the saline flush syringe, as well as the extension tubing when inserting an IV catheter.
