How to take blood for ABG (Arterial blood gas)

The preferred site is easily accessible, superficial, and collateral circulation. Inject a sufficient amount (around 0.5ml) of 1% lidocaine with a 25 gauge needle intradermally to raise a small wheal at the area where the skin puncture is to be made. Wet the syringe and needle with a sodium heparin solution of 1,000 units/mL
BLOOD SAMPLING
Radial artery
Femoral artery
Brachial artery
This can minimize the pain associated with an unintentional contact below the artery. If the blood sample was obtained from the brachial artery, compress this vessel so that the radial pulse cannot be palpated. Do not apply too much suction by pulling the syringe plunger fast.

I probably did over 10, 000 arterial sticks in 40 years as an RRT. I got really good at it.

Many thanks for this video. However, once the needle is removed, it should not be closed to the patient again. Why did he/she remove the blood off the tip of the needle using the cotton on the patient's hand? It is risky in my opinion.

hello! My problem on taking abg is that it’s hard to locate the pulse. Any tips for that?

If you pull the plunger and blood doesn't come out of it should you take the needle out first push the plunger back to remove air and then go again?

What should be the angle of syringe while taking abg

Why too many blood extracted 😅... It only need 1-2cc of it

I’m struggling with abg currently. I feel like I feel the artery but when I poke nothing comes out. My instructor said I have good technique but I just keep missing. Any good advice would be appreciated

I poke at the pulse but nothing happens 😢. Why?

[dulce]

Ia it correct if I previously pull the syringe to the desired amount of blood (eg 2 ml) so that when I do the puncture I don't have to pull?

Any doctors who are watching this who would agree to give general anesthesia or deep sedation to patient before procedures such as this?
