Hi, I am a PhD student from the University of Hull, currently seeking ethical approval for a study. This isn't a molecular physiology question per se, more of a general research question.
Our department has not used cannulas in research yet and we are in the process of obtaining faculty and University ethical approval for cannulation.
I was wondering what peoples thoughts were in relation to using cannulas and whether anyone had any guidelines/policies that they currently follow?
Please either respond on here or email me at b.chrismas@hull.ac.uk
Thank you

Hi, I was just wondering what would you be using the cannulation for, as I have noticed that you are presenting a poster regarding microparticle research at the BASES conference in Glasgow. If this is correct, will you be using the cannulation in this area of research?

Hi...
Speaking to a researcher I work with, I was under the impression that only a medic can insert a cannula, although you could withdraw blood from it (maybe good to do a phlebotomy training course as well).
I may be wrong though.

Hi. My understanding is that after suitable training (probably a phlebotomy course, followed by practical experience, then a cannulation course), a sport scientist will usually be able to insert a cannula. Although each institution's ethical board may have its own precedent and guidelines. If used for drawing blood only, even then saline is typically used to flush the system so something is arguably administered to the participant. Administering anything other than that would of course need to be part of the ethics application, and certain things may indeed be a step to far for non-medics. Good luck!
