Distal tibia above the medial malleolus
Distal femur
ASIS
36
Q

Contraidnications of intraosseous access

A
  • Fractures and crush injuries near the access site
  • Fragile bone e.g. Osteogenesis imperfecta
  • Previous attempts to access in the same bone
37
Q

if venous accesss is not available w/in 1 min in a child with CP arrest what should you do

A

IO cannulation

IO needle placed in anterior tibia

38
Q

indications for catheterization of Umb V

A

IV access in low birth weight infants (not more than
2 weeks)
Emergency IV access for resuscitation, medication,
and fluids
Blood sampling
Monitoring of central venous pressure
Exchange transfusion in the newborn

39
Q

indications for catheterization of Umb A

A
Continuous blood-pressure monitoring
Exchange transfusion in the newborn
Arterial blood gas sampling
Infusion of resuscitation drugs
Infusion of maintenance solutions
40
Q

risks in umb v/a catheterization

A

cardiac perforation
pericardial tamponade
portal HPN

41
Q

if the catheter is incorrectly placed in the RA during umb v/a cat what could happen

A

cardiac perforation or pericardial tamponade

42
Q

this assess blood gases and to continuously monitor blood
pressure (critically ill patients), invasive radiologic
interventional procedures

A

arterial vascular access

43
Q

sites used in arterial vascular access

A

radial axillary
femoral
posterior tibial
dorsalis pedis

44
Q

what arterydo most interventional cardiologist utilize for coronary angiogram?

A

radial artery

45
Q

arteries that should be avoided in arterial vascular access

A

brachial

temporal

46
Q

what would you perform first if you want to access arteries of the hand

A

allen’s test esp in px with peripheral arteriosum causing dse

47
Q

why allen’s tetst is performed before radial artery cannulation

A

to determine wheter ulnar collateral circulation to the hand is adequate in case of radial art thrombosis

48
Q

most commonly cannulated artery

A

radial

49
Q

why ulnar artery is less commonly used

A

bcoz of its proximity to the ulnar nerve

50
Q

this is used to make a passage or anastomosis btn 2 natural channels
