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.

Why is the ulnar artery considered off limits for Use as an arterial puncture site?
The ulnar artery is generally considered off-limits for arterial puncture due to its deeper location and proximity to important structures, including nerves and tendons, which increases the risk of complications such as nerve damage or hematoma formation. Additionally, the ulnar artery supplies blood to the hand, and puncturing it can compromise blood flow, especially if collateral circulation is inadequate. The radial artery is preferred for puncture because it is more superficial and has a more reliable collateral blood supply.
What risks are associated with hemoglobin tests?
Risks for this test are minimal, but may include slight bleeding from the blood-drawing site, fainting or feeling lightheaded after venipuncture, or hematoma (blood accumulating under the puncture site).
