This question was posed to me and Im interested to know if all States enable RRTs to place Arterial Lines, if not which States don't, or is purely driven by hospital policy? Along with responses, Is there a Critical Care resource that can help give some guidance to the questions? Thanks

any articles on closed suction catheterisation?

okieicu_rn, and bama.....thanks very much! i thought, but it doesnt seem that the majority of a-lines are placed by an anasteseologist in an acute care setting.

I'm writing a presentation about arterial catheter placement. In the ICU, who is allowed to place the catheter (Anesthetist, Nurse, Anesthesiologist) and How long is it usually in-place, and how frequent are the dressing changes. If anyone can address this for me an/or point me to a presentation or article, that would be helpful. Thanks

Take a picture too and post it on the floor.

Wow...thanks all. So this floor seems like a 'gateway' to and from surgery. Is that a good description of it?

Thank you so much.

Im new to exploring the nursing field and some of my questions are: - What is a medsurge nurse? - What does medsurge mean? - What are the typical responsibilities of a medsurge nurse? Thanks for the help.
