The recommended site for arterial blood gas sampling is?
The radial artery is the recommended site for arterial blood gas sampling. It is preferred over other sites like the brachial or femoral arteries due to lower complication rates and easier accessibility.
Heart excitation originates in the what?
The atrioventricular node is the site of heart excitation. It electrically connects and coordinates the atrial and ventricular chambers at the top of the heart.
What complications are associated with an arterial puncture?
Complications associated with arterial puncture include hematoma formation, which can occur if blood leaks out of the artery into surrounding tissues. Other potential complications are arterial thrombosis, leading to reduced blood flow, and nerve damage, which may cause pain or weakness. Infection at the puncture site is also a risk, as well as the possibility of an arterial dissection. In rare cases, there may be severe complications such as limb ischemia or embolism.
How arterial blood spurt stop?
To stop an arterial blood spurt, apply direct pressure to the wound using a clean cloth or bandage. If the bleeding continues, elevate the injured area above the heart to reduce blood flow. If possible, use a tourniquet above the injury site to control severe bleeding. Always seek immediate medical attention for arterial injuries.
What is the aftercare for a ventricular shunt operation?

Why alveolar oxygen tension is more than arterial oxygen tension?
The alveoli are the site of gas exchange in the lungs, where oxygen is taken up by the blood. The alveolar oxygen tension is higher than arterial oxygen tension because there is a gradient that drives oxygen diffusion from the alveoli into the blood. This difference is necessary to ensure efficient oxygen uptake by the blood in the lungs.
