Arterial catheterization–indications

Monitor: Hemodynamically unstable Pts who may be hypo– or hypertensive, currently treated with vasopressor or vasodilator agents
Sample blood: on a regular basis to assess blood gases–oxygen, carbon dioxide in a mechanically ventilated Pt
Determine cardiac output

Clearing up the cholesterol confusion by Sinatra, Stephen / Townsend Letter In an intensive-care setting where patients may require frequent (perhaps two hourly) blood-gas testing, arterial catheterization may be justified because it allows not only convenient and painless access to arterial blood but also continuous blood-pressure monitoring. Capillary-blood gases: to arterialize or not by Higgins, Chris / Medical Laboratory Observer If we were to wait for double blind studies to be taken on any or all treatments, the medical profession would not be allowed to perform heart transplants or arterial catheterization, radiation or chemotherapy as no double blind studies were conducted on those procedures.
