      Definitely brighter than venous blood of same specific person. But patients with low saturation often even have dark arterial blood.

  • @Andythrax
    @Andythrax 7 років тому +67

    1. You do not need, and will not be able to, in clinical practice, give local anaesthetic before doing ABG. they are done primarily in emergency situations and when venous sampling is unsuitable and 2. You should engage the needle safety device by pushing the cover against a surface; definitely not with your finger as theoretically this increases the risk of needle-stick injury.

    • @geekymedics
      @geekymedics  7 років тому +76

      +Andythrax The British Thoracic Society recommends the use of local anaesthetic in all situations except in emergencies or when a patient is already anaesthetised. See guidelines here www.brit-thoracic.org.uk/document-library/clinical-information/oxygen/emergency-oxygen-use-in-adult-patients-guideline/emergency-oxygen-use-in-adult-patients-guideline/ In regards to the way in which the safety guard on the needle is engaged, see the device makers instructions here www.bd.com/hypodermic/products/safety_needles.asp

    • @Hahaha-px5ep
      @Hahaha-px5ep 2 місяці тому

      Blood gasses tell how much oxygen your blood is carrying from the artery, which contains the most oxygen because it comes straight from the lungs. Next to the oxygen saturation of blood, a blood gas tells us something about the pH and acidity of blood, blood being naturally a little bit basic (pH 7.35 -7.45), and if this balance is disturbed looking at components which build this balance can point us in the direction of where the problem is

      Drawing blood from the underside wrist area (arterial and vein) tends to burn and pinch more for most people than a venipuncture elsewhere. It can lead to the patient reacting physically to the stress or just an uncomfortable stick.
