the patient only requires a local anesthetic and a sedative. A long needle is inserted into the jugular vein in the neck, and is passed down through the superior vena cava.

What is the best angle for needle insertion during venipuncture and why?

Because the goal of the procedure is to place a plastic catheter into the vein. If you insert the needle/catheter vertically you will go through the vein. If you angle on insertion once placement in the vein is confirmed you can slide the hollow catheter off of the needle into the vein. The veins used for most IV's normally lie just under the skin. For this reason a shallow angle of insertion is used.
