I recently had a double lung transplant and let me tell you it's pretty rare for someone to hit? the artery on the first try. Only a truly seasoned practitioner or doctor becomes good at it. Hell, one of the doc's at my recent admission missed 7 times. It literally feels like your arm is breaking. I hope I never have to get one again.

I enjoyed your ... By: margaretgoodwyn1. on 12 May 11, 18:56:47 I enjoyed your video but since when do you touch the needle on? top of the syringe? I think this is all wrong and should not be taught as a needle stick injury is likely by using these out of date techniques

In fact, the last time I had an ABG done, I had to get stuck twice! Just two words... Never? again. I never want a stinkin ABG done if I can help it. Peace.
@nessajack What you ... By: AngelOne11. on 03 Jul 10, 12:55:22 @nessajack What you have to do is not be nervous. Go in slowly at an angle after you feel for the pulse. Don't push? it too fast and as he said go round the site several times until you get it. I got mine from the first insert ever; not to brag or anything ;)

My problem was that where I thought I felt the artery with my index finger wasn't actually where it? really was.. the first time I got it I was sooo happy.. and now I know where to go when I feel the pulse
I had this done ... By: purple1449. on 16 Nov 09, 22:32:39 I had this done several years ago and can say it's the most painful thing ever.
Dr fished about in my wrist for ages and eventually gave up. It took two nurses to hold my arms to stop me pulling them away (and I'm usually stoic - I am now needle phobic - hence looking this up to try and overcome my phobia).
He didn't even try the artery in my groin. which makes me wonder if I needed the test in the first place.
Note to Drs & Med students - if this test is not neccesery? DON'T do it.
I think you? should ... By: nadasj. on 27 Oct 09, 20:04:48 I think you? should prepare the skin by wiping it by iodine in circular motion then use alcohol swap .. you are invading an artery .. in this case the risk for infection is high .
moreover in case of air bubbles inside the syringe this will effect on the result so you should use rubber stopper ..
