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.
