Neonatal Expert Observations | Procedures: Arterial Puncture (Art Stick) #nicu #abg #respiratorycare

Summary

Part of the McGlinn Institute Neonatal Expert Observations series, this video covers peripheral arterial puncture (art stick) of the radial artery in neonates for arterial blood gas sampling. It emphasises the decision-making before the procedure, including whether arterial blood is truly needed, alternatives such as capillary or venous samples, identifying the radial artery and checking distal perfusion.
