2018年8月7日 · Arterial puncture and cannulation, also known as arterial line placement or “a-line,” is commonly performed in the ED to allow for continuous blood pressure measurement and frequent arterial blood gas sampling.

2023年6月26日 · This activity reviews the indications, contraindications of radial artery cannulation and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the management of patients who need arterial lines. Objectives:

2024年1月19日 · Arterial line or catheterization is a routine procedure in diverse clinical settings, including the intensive care unit, emergency room, and operating room. This involves inserting a catheter into a peripheral artery, enabling hemodynamic monitoring and arterial blood sampling.

2024年11月20日 · The arterial line is sterile and may only touch skin that has been cleaned and disinfected (“sterile site”). Your hands need to touch the guide wire and the arterial line (“sterile parts”) so sterile gloves are needed.

Palpate the radial artery in detail with the tip of the index finger of your nondominant hand. Systematically palpate, release, and shift slightly over the artery, to precisely discern the center axis of the artery (the area of the strongest pulse).

2021年9月8日 · Using the Arrow Radial Arterial Line Kit, a needle was inserted into the radial artery. Arterial blood was seen to pulsate in the flash chamber. The internal guidewire was advanced easily into the radial artery. The catheter was then advanced over the wire and the needle and wire were withdrawn. The catheter was sutured in place.

2022年10月20日 · This guide provides a step-by-step approach to inserting an arterial line into the radial artery in an OSCE setting, it is NOT intended to be used to guide patient care. Indications and contra-indications

2023年7月24日 · Radial artery: From the brachial artery, the radial artery originates in the cubital fossa and traverses the lateral aspect of the forearm. It supplies the palmar arches that provide adequate blood circulation to the hand. It is palpable at the wrist, proximal to the radial styloid or radial head and slightly lateral.

In cardiac arrest settings, arterial lines can be used to assess for the presence of a pulse and can help guide resuscitation. The radial artery is the most common location for arterial line placement because it is readily accessible and has a low complication rate (1).
