Hemodynamics Flashcards
Phlebostatic Axis
Points to position transducer in arterial line.
4th intercostal space. Midpoint between anterior and posterior thoracic region. Mid-axillary line.
Pulmonary Artery Catheter Colors
Blue - thermistor
Yellow - distal port for pulmonary pressures
gray**- transfusion port
red - balloon port
red/yellow - kill a fellow
