It is really frustrating having to depend on others to do this. 😖
Hopefully I’ll get better, I don’t want to constantly bother others when the pulse is weak

i had a really bad day today, i just started working at a new hospital away from home a month ago, and learned here that lab techs like me must do abg's as well asides from the RT. (i live in south east asia) so I've had a few tries before and keep missing, i feel really bad for the patient as i know it causes a lot of pain. and just yesterday during my night shift, a granny from a vehicular accident came in, I knew i couldn't feel her pulse so i called in for help with my coworker, we were the only 2 on duty last night, and after 4 pokes, she still couldn't get it though she's senior staff, we both felt so awful and walked away upset. i had been bending down for so long holding the patients arm ( she would jerk whenever we poked) and my position caused me to get light headed and cold sweats, we had to call it quits and I almost ran back to our lab to lie down before I would become the next ER patient and faint in there, embarrassing myself and stressing out my senior,

i really appreciate your video and hope these tips could help me get better. i want my seniors to see that i can get it right, not call on them all the time for backup and as much as possible not cause anymore pain to the patient than they're already experiencing 😢

I'll come back when i get another chance to perform the collection and see if i can get it right. 💕

Thank you. Very informative. Love your teaching style.

I always struggle with abgs sometimes I get and most of times I can't get the sample and get super stressed 😥

After sticking a patient, is manipulating the needle a little to get blood an advisable practice? I almost always get blood this way but am obviously worried about the complications it may result in later.

Could you please show how to use local anesthesia for the arterial puncture site. How much anesthesia and at what angle to inject. Thanks

fricken each time I go to get abs done no one can seem to poke once. its always two plus tries...

Hi, Henry! Do you think that phlebotomy technicians make more money than RN?

[idkvwad]

Starting clinicals for RT. I'm very nervous about this part of the program... sticking people doesn't bug me, but being stuck is something that's made me faint in the past. I hate the sharp pain of needles. Any advice for getting used to this? I figured watching videos might help me.

You have explained the procedure to Mr.arm but I don't think he has granted you to proceed

[julessavvy]

Please reply, I want to be an RRT so bad but I’m sometimes afraid of blood and have fainted before when seeing/getting it done. Do you have any suggestions? Am I doomed in being an RT?

thanks for the video!! I'm an RT student here in PH, and i wish to become a registered RT someday 🪄🫁
