Arterial Lines Simplified (MAP)
Greetings my fellow Nurses, today Im going to discuss Arterial lines with their Pressure Transducer and reasons for Art Line use in critical care.
So arterial catheter connected to a pressure transducer are used for real time blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, mean and pulse pressure. The reason patients need this are for specific conditions like
Labile blood pressure
Anticipation of haemodynamic instability
Titration of vasoactive drugs
Frequent blood sampling
Morbid obesity (unable to fit an appropriately sized NIBP cuff)
Don't forget that the Arterial line other than blood pressure can be used for
pulse rate and rhythm
effects of dysrhythmia on perfusion
ECG lead disconnection
continuous cardiac output using pulse contour analysis
specific wave form morphologies might be diagnostic
tamponade & also for pulse pressure variation (suggests fluid responsiveness)
COMPLICATIONS to assess my fellow nurse brothers and sisters are the 5 P’s
-Pulselessness
-Pallor
-Pain
-Paresthesia
-Paralysis
