Its a long process that takes a skilled professional do not do if you are not trained.

1. remove all items that will be used

2. fill the drip chamber half way

3. insert the needel/catheder into subject arm until you see blood in the flash chamber

4. push the catheder forward holding pressure on the vein with your left hand as to not let blood squirt everywhere remove needle

5. Insert IV lock to catheder

6. squeeze bag

I am not a professional nor am i trained on how to apply an IV that's just what i did in combat and worked well enough for me.
