I just watched the video on the FAST1....newer system than the one I tried (like the peds kit....all manual placement if the needle.....okay, so this one looks foolproof and you know what that means..............)
This is a different animal than the one I used, less potential for incorrect placement, deeper puncture, etc. I stand corrected except for this really should be the LAST resort.
