I do not have a fear of needles generally, but my reactions to ABGs are getting worse. I have always experienced an intense amount of pain with them, and every single person who has performed it has had trouble finding the right area, drawing the blood etc. This has lead me to build up such a fear that today I had to had one, and even though the doctor anaesthatised the area, I hada full blown major panic attack and even started vomiting. I'm really worried about this fear I have developed :-(

when I went in for an arterial blood gas they actually couldn't get an abg from the artery at my wrist so instead went in just below the crook of my arm. If I ever get it done again I will be asking them to go there instead of the wrist cause it hurt a lot less

It does look very dark for oxygenated blood... unless this lady actually had health issues and a significantly lower oxygen concentration in her blood? ...

If it will be your first time on a patient try not to be nervous. I find that most people are accepting to allow new students to do them. When I first started as an RT a patient asked me if I was any good at doing arterial blood gases. Being my first ever abg on a person I told the truth. "I haven't missed one yet" |
