Arterial Catheter
Product Features
● Real-time blood pressure monitoring (more accurate than non-invasive cuffs).
● Direct arterial blood sampling (for ABGs, labs).
● Common insertion sites: Radial artery (most common), femoral, brachial, or dorsalis pedis.
● Uses: ICU, major surgery, shock, hemodynamic instability.
Instruction for use
● Site Selection: Common sites—radial (preferred), femoral, brachial, or dorsalis pedis.Perform Allen test for radial artery to assess collateral circulation.
● Prep: Sterile technique—clean site with antiseptic, drape.
● Anesthetize: Inject lidocaine subcutaneously at insertion site.
● Cannulation: Seldinger technique (common): Insert needle at 30–45° angle, advance until blood flashes back, thread guidewire, then catheter.
● Direct cannulation: Insert catheter-over-needle into artery until flash, then advance catheter.
● Confirm placement: Blood return should be pulsatile.
● Secure: Suture or adhesive device; apply sterile dressing.
● Connect: To pressurized saline flush (500 mmHg) and transducer for continuous monitoring.
Product application
● Continuous BP monitoring (e.g., vasopressor use, severe hypotension/hypertension).
● Frequent blood sampling (e.g., ABGs in ventilated patients).
● Hemodynamic monitoring (e.g., cardiac output calculations in shock).
