Drawing Blood from an Arterial Line

[@marvellouslusompa434]

Hi Caroline! I just wanted to say welcome back and congratulations! You have been an inspiration to me since the beginning of my nursing journey.

[@empowern]

Thank you so much for letting me know 💝 I really appreciate it and am very happy to be back!

[@venuskalb305]

Your procedure video is so clear & informative!

[@aleshapeters]

I'm not a nurse, but I have to get blood draws sometimes. And I find this video helpful. Thanks for making it.

Are you an RT?

[@aleshapeters]

@@qn9cmo0kjoi9 I'm not. Just a regular patient. This video is very educational.

Hi sweet love; I am glad you are still giving presentations. Keep up the good empowerment you are loved by many.

Do you also have to love the stopcock by the transducer for this?

[@empowern]

Do you mean reposition the stop cock? No, not to draw blood you do not

[@lucasa4955]

@@empowern yeah that’s what I mean. I swear I heard that you also turn the stopcock towards the patient for blood draws. I mean the stopcock literally by the transducer you use for zeroing.
