What you'll learn
Arterial line placement is a common procedure in various critical care settings and anesthetic settings. It is a safe procedure and major complications occur only in few of the patients i.e., less than 1%. It is also a readily acceptable intervention for critically ill patients. Arterial line placement is often used in the management of critically ill patients for continuous blood pressure monitoring and to allow frequent blood gas sampling. Blood pressure monitoring is one of the essential vital signs and this method utilizes non invasive technique which is exact, specific and reliable. This is done to monitor continuous blood pressure readings which is technically called intra- arterial pressure monitoring (IAP).read more »»
