Q

PRECAUTIONS for Arterial Line

A
  • Transducer for Arterial line shoud be pos’d @ lvl of Rt. Atrium—-> assures accurate pressure values
    • ​Transducer LOW== HIGHER BP
    • Transducer HIGH == LOWER BP
  • **if A-line dislodged—–apply pressure and notify nursing
    • Maintain SLACK on line to prevent dislodge
  • DO NOT let pt FLEX/EXT wrist to prevent aa damage
