How do you find your femoral vein?
1. Lie down on your back with your legs extended and relaxed.
2. Feel along the inside of your thigh, slightly below the groin crease, for a pulse.
3. This is the femoral artery. The femoral vein is located just behind it.
4. You can feel the femoral vein by gently pressing in the area behind the artery.
NOTE: If you are having difficulty finding the femoral vein, you may need to have a doctor or nurse help you.
