28
Q

Central Line other functions

A

Allows IV access for medication administration

29

  • Pulmonary valve tear
  • Infection
41
Q

PA catheter mobilzation

A

recommended that mobilization, if essential, only be undertaken by an experienced clinican after it has been determined that the patient is hemodynamically stable.

42
