Art lines
December 12th, 2009
It’s amazing how we are learning the medical lingo. Today they changed Caitlyns “art” line. An art line (i think) is a needle that is inserted into an artery through which you can give drugs and test blood. As you can imagine it was quite an event. At the same time they retaped her breathing tube and redressed her left lung tube. We talk to the staff about sats and maps and others. Not ready for nursing school yet, though.
Overall a positive day.
