do i have any agreements that it REALLY looked liked she didnt even get it....Im thinkin thats def. a venous sample....it didnt even fill fast at all and is very dark

[nsgreenthumb]

that sample was way to dark to be an arterial

SHE DIDN'T HIT THE PULSE BECAUSE THE BLOOD IS DARK, THE BLOOD FROM ARTERIAL EXTRACTION MUST BE CHERRY RED. OMAAAAAAY

The blood looks the color of grape juice.

Poor fat patient didn't even get any local. You can see she is in agony. When she has to have another one because that sample was shit, she will be pissed.

[metalmarious]

Huge bubble - the air was never evacuated from the sample. Definitely venous as well. Would love the numbers.

[ployzzzzzz]

i wonder if its really aseptic technique

@mosti4674 PLUS was too much blood... a sample of arterial is tiny!

This answers my questions about ABG's and pain, if I had ask the doctor he would have probably lied to me. I need bypass surgery but they aren't putting the central line in while I am awake and they refuse to wait until I am put under.
