A scalpel is used to make this___, not a full incision.
What is a skin nick?
This catheter has a curled distal tip to prevent ventricular wall trauma.
What is a pigtail catheter?
This type of vascular access enters the vessel through the skin using a needle.
What is percutaneous access?
This test assesses collateral flow before radial access.
What is the Allen’s test?
Guidewires should never be advanced when this occurs.
What is resistance?
This part of the needle includes the hub and shaft.
What is the entry needle?
Judkins catheters are primarily used for this procedure.
What is coronary angiography?
This vascular access method uses a surgical incision and is rarely used today.
What is cutdown?
This test uses pulse oximetry to reduce subjectivity.
What is the Barbeau test?
This type of guidewire tip is standard for diagnostic procedures.
What is a J-tip guidewire?
This scalpel blade is used for Seldinger technique.
What is a #11 blade?
Catheter sizes are measured using this unit for outer diameter.
What is French (Fr)?
This access site requires assessment of collateral circulation before puncture.
What is the radial artery?
This artery is used for the access approach that allows early ambulation.
What is radial artery?
The femoral artery puncture angle during Seldinger technique.
What is 30-45 degrees?
The standard gauge size of an entry needle used for femoral arterial access.
What is 18 gauge?
This diagnostic catheter is commonly used for hand injections during radial procedures.
What is Tiger catheter?
This access approach is associated with increased bleeding and longer bedrest.
What is the femoral approach?
This imaging method should be paired with fluoroscopy to prevent a high femoral stick.
What is ultrasound?
The optimal femoral puncture location is the top one-third of this structure.
What is the femoral head.
This radial access entry system uses a 21 gauge needle and a .21 inch guidewire.
What is a micropuncture kit?
This catheter characteristic helps prevent intimal dissection.
What is a soft distal tip?
This historical cardiac cath access technique did not use a sheath introducer.
What is the Sones technique?
This rare but life threatening complication is more common with high femoral sticks.
What is a retroperitoneal bleed?
This tool may be used to create a subcutaneous tunnel.
What are curved hemostats?
