Iv Catheter Won't Advance. before you advance, drop the angle at which you're holding the catheter just a little. if a catheter, that was advancing well within the lumen of a vein, comes to a stop before it is in place, you may have hit a valve. If you feel no resistance, you can advance the cannula while. I've been having trouble starting iv's. I get a great flash. occasionally, the catheter is in the lumen of the vein but cannot be advanced because it is pushing against a valve or a sharp turn in the vein. To help the catheter pass through a valve, advance the catheter while flushing it with fluid from a syringe or from the iv tubing. getting a flash (usually small amount) and then being unable to thread the catheter in my experience is usually due. This will open the valve and allow the catheter to pass through. if you feel resistance and can no longer advance, stop, remove your tourniquet, remove your needle, hook up your tubing with saline flush, then flush the iv while advancing the catheter.
