How to take blood for ABG | Radial Artery

Описание: The preferred site is easily accessible, superficial, and collateral circulation. Inject a sufficient amount (around 0.5ml) of 1% lidocaine with a 25 gauge needle intradermally to raise a small wheal at the area where the skin puncture is to be made. Wet the syringe and needle with a sodium heparin solution of 1,000 units/mL
BLOOD SAMPLING
Radial artery
Femoral artery
Brachial artery
This can minimize the pain associated with an unintentional contact below the artery. If the blood sample was obtained from the brachial artery, compress this vessel so that the radial pulse cannot be palpated. Do not apply too much suction by pulling the syringe plunger fast.
