I just remembered that this option is only when they put in an IV first. but may be worth it to find a place that does it if your dr is considering having him sleep for blood draw.
its specially trained nurses who are guided by ultrasound in finding a good vein. its a lot easier on child because there is no tourniquet being used. Mount Sinai hospital does this. NYU not. I don't know about other NY hospitals.

My vein are very thin. I went to my doctor and o need blood work. They nurse tried and couldn’t do it. So she sent me to the hospital lab. I asked the nurse there can you do it I have thin vein. She said I can do anything. And she did it on first try.
