Troubleshooting
- Do not forcefully insert the guidewire, as this may damage the guidewire or surrounding structures.
- If unable to advance the guidewire, retract it and confirm that there is still flashback from the needle. If so, then gently re-attempt to insert the guidewire. If resistance is repeatedly met then remove the needle, place pressure on the site and start again.
