IAB: Heparin or Pressure Bag? The TRUTH about clots!
The big debate dividing nursing: Heparin in saline solution for Invasive Blood Pressure (IBP)! To use or not to use heparin to prevent clots in the system?
This video delves into the controversial debate about heparinization of arterial catheters.
We address the formation of microthrombi, the risk of embolisms, and how the presence of pressure bags has transformed practices. Understand why many scientific articles question the superiority of heparin and what the effective alternative is that guarantees patient safety. We discuss the history of heparin use, the role of the pressure bag, and the importance of basing our practice on scientific evidence. Participate in the discussion, learn what is safer and what is proven!
Heparin was historically used to prevent microthrombi in arterial catheters before pressure bags.
Pressure-compressing bags inflated to 300 mmHg guarantee a flow of 3 ml/hour, preventing clot formation.
Current scientific articles do not show superiority of heparin over pressure-compressing bags.
The nursing community actively discusses the need for or not the use of heparin in arterial lines.

This channel is aimed at nursing professionals, whether they are nursing assistants, technicians, or nurses who are seeking growth and high performance in their work, improving their patient care every day.
The idea behind the Nasc Nursing Training channel was to present a proposal that could contribute to the construction of knowledge and learning of nursing procedures aimed at improving patient care, in order to provide humanized, safe, comfortable care, with infection control and sepsis prevention. In short, nursing care with minimal complications for the client. Let's talk about empirical nursing practice, but let's also talk about what is already scientific evidence in our profession, since nursing is a science, it's more than time for us to behave as such.
