6:04 This "if performed well" triggered me. This procedure is BLIND. As such, you meant to say "if you got lucky".

Never had a patient complain about the sting of a 25G for LA infiltration. Much kinder to do this than not.

I had it done in Nov 29, to Dec 5, 2020. They numbed it up good, but years ago in 1978, I had it without numbing med it bloody hurts like heck.

I think this is a wonderful video, I particularly like the graphics for the Allen's test. I work as a tutor for a university and would love to be able to add a link for this video on our university website. Are there any permission/copyright laws that would not allow me to do this please? Or may I have surgical teaching's permission for this please? Many thanks, Fiona.

Hi Fiona, of course- feel free to add a link on your university website 🙂

Hey So I have tried performing an abg multiple times and I never get a flash in my bulb, I even traced the course of the artery and found what what thought was a point where the pulse was best felt. What do you think are some of the common errors one makes when taking an abg that could also be preventing me from obtaining a good sample ?

@SurgicalTeaching 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, it's difficult to answer. ABGs do take a lot of practice to become really good at! It can be helpful to feel the artery with two fingers to then visualise the course of the vessel between these two points and then insert the needle at a point along this course.

I've had 2. They're painful, and I ended up fainting with the 2nd one and asked the Dr to stop. Took me hours to feel normal after that procedure. They didn't even get a sample. Won't be talked into having another one that's for sure

Just had one. First nurse was not good. I asked for someone experienced. He got it in first try and with obvious expertise.

Thanks for a greatly informative video. What would you advise with patients that cannot comply with the Allen test, but clearly needs a ABG assessment?

What could happen if the needle didn't have the coagulant? A puncture this small could be fatal?

@SurgicalTeaching 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, the anticoagulant in the needle and syringe is needed to prevent the collected blood sample from clotting before it is able to be analysed. The site of the puncture of the patients artery should stop bleeding with applied pressure, although it's important to press significantly longer in patients who are on anticoagulants or have clotting disorders.
