Why are capillary blood gases less desirable than arterial blood gases?
skin puncture blood is only partly
In which type of bleeding is blood less likely to clot?
An arterial bleed, because the blood is flowing at a high rate of speed/pressure.
Why arterial bleeding is difficult to control?
Because being closer to the beating of the heart, it has more pressure behind it. Arterial blood is "outboud". Venous blood is "inbound".ANS2:Arterial bleeding is difficult to control because the pulsing pressure, delivered directly from the heart, makes clot formation less effective for staunching the flow than it would be for capillary or venous bleeding.
Why arterial blood is more alkaline than venous blood?
pulmonary arterial blood as it has moce CO2 than venous

What is the normal capillary refill in sheep?
Capillary refill is the process of blood returning to the body. The normal capillary refill in a sheep is less than 2 seconds.
How is blood flow to the elbow assessed?
Check for capillary refill. Less than two seconds is good.
What the rationale for taking body temperature before doing ABG analysis?
ABG (Arterial Blood Gases) is a measurement of oxygen saturation in the arterial blood which supplies oxygenated blood to the body tissue and the extraction of oxygen from the hemoglobin at the capillary level. The amount of oxygen saturation of the hemoglobin (HbO2) depends on hemoglobin concentration and the arterial pressure often referred to as Hemoglobin / O2 dissociation curve. At lower body temperature, less oxygen is bounded to hemoglobin, while at higher temperature slightly more oxygen is bounded to hemoglobin. It is therefore important to know the body temperature when the ABG analysis is done so as to have a more meaningful interpretation of the result.
