Also known as an art-line or a-line, an arterial line is a thin catheter that is inserted into an artery. It is most commonly used to monitor blood pressure directly and accurately, as with close and accurate titration of blood pressure medications. It is also used to obtain samples for arterial blood gas analysis (ABG’s) and is convenient when frequent blood samples are needed so the patient does not have to be stuck multiple times.

I was on day 1 of orientation on icu and had my first aline! Video is really helpful and added details that i was not aware about. Thank you

[@sonyakayoftheusa2191]

I am including your information on my educational channel. You are very thorough.

[@breannaparker5546]

Why does the picture for Allen's test show lifting of the incorrect artery?

[@moonshine399]

You can use cubital or radial artery

[@allanochoa4826]

I was so confused with ART lines,
thank you.

[@miaeba]

there should be something on a monitor for zeroing and what zeroing looks like

[@rosemarytimmerman4232]

Comparing the cuff pressure to the arterial line pressure will not provide any information about the accuracy of the arterial line pressure reading. While the cuff measures flow, the arterial line measures pressure. The differences in readings may be more disparate in states of shock.

[@pepitobenegas]

Thank you they never explained to me this in nursing school

[@Xjr5rjX]

Great video. Thanks

[@miaeba]

and how to get blood should be demonstrated

[@TheSherbear87]

Thank you, great video and clear information.

[@pandaxtaiga8213]

Thank you!!

[@lisadrouillard4014]

You must tell anyone in surgery that you're taking blood gases. You neglected to mention using an alcohol wipe on the port.

[@roongtatotato2859]

Thank you.

[@mahi_skylarkmahi3934]

Super explanation😍😍😍 thank u so much mam

[@yayangyinyang]

WOULD YOU PUT A BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF FOR NON-INVASIVE MONITORING TO THE SAME SITE OF ARTERIAL LINE?

[@jordancatherine]

I've seen them on the opposite arm or around the leg.

[@blainew1035]

No, this would be counterproductive because the cuff would occlude the artery above the arterial line catheter, essentially taking away the pressure for its reading. It's best to use the opposite arm or one of the legs.

[@RJ-ol1mq]

Good information...thank you

[@dalalasiri2632]

thank you

[@jordancatherine]

Thank you!

[@farhanfaisal1737]

GOD BLESS AMERICAN NURSES. YOU'RE THE BEST!!!

Yes! American nurses have a lot of potential, from Canada to Argentina.
