Thank you for your responses! This will really help us make decisions at our facility. Thank you to the UK! That was great! Deb

In that situation where it just causes you more work, I can see your frustration. It's really a delay in care. All of that chasing should happen in the ICU, or they should just let your docs do it. Thanks for your response!

Our ED sees about 32,000 a year with medium-low acuity (no trauma, STEMIs, Brain attacks, unless come POV), and we rarely board patients. In our state, maintaining an art line is an advisory statement, and must have documented competency for the RN. RNs in the larger facilities do this all the time, and there is a validation, however some of the local small hospitals do not start art lines in the ED. I'm wondering what is happening around the country/world for similar sized EDs. Thanks!
