This document discusses hemodynamic monitoring through arterial pressure monitoring. It describes how arterial pressure monitoring involves cannulation of a peripheral artery and is commonly used to manage critically ill and perioperative patients. It provides details on arterial cannula sizes and their corresponding maximum flow rates. It also describes how arterial catheterization is a common procedure in intensive care and operating room settings, allowing for continuous blood pressure display and frequent blood sampling by inserting a catheter into an artery.

of invasive blood pressure monitoring
and is done through the cannulation of
a peripheral artery. This form of
a peripheral artery. This form of
monitoring is commonly utilized in the

determines the maximum flow
rate. The 15 Fr arterial
cannula can support flow rate
cannula can support flow rate
up to 3.5 L/min, whereas the
19 Fr arterial cannula can
achieve flow up to 5 L/min.
56. Arterial catheterization is a procedure
that is common to the intensive care
and the operating room settings. It
involves placement of a catheter into
the lumen of an artery to provide at
the lumen of an artery to provide at
minimum a continuous display blood
pressure with access to frequent
arterial blood sampling.
