PY - 2018 T2 - Reichman's Emergency Medicine Procedures, 3e AB - Arterial blood gas sampling is an essential component of the care of many Emergency Department patients. It provides key information regarding a patient’s oxygenation and acid-base status. Arterial cannulation allows for continuous and accurate blood pressure monitoring and frequent blood gas sampling in the care of the critically ill patient. There are many issues associated with obtaining and maintaining arterial access. Placement of an arterial line occurs less commonly than venous access. It is important to know when to obtain arterial access, where to obtain arterial access, and how to obtain arterial access. The use of an arterial line provides a more accurate blood pressure than using a noninvasive cuff.
