- In this video, I take a look at how we actually set up our arterial line and why (there will be a live action of this coming soon, I promise), as well as how the transducer gives us a numeric read and the effects of damping and why.

I love the way you're explaining this. Makes a lot more sense than some other videos I've watched!
You are creating great content. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to watching the video of you demonstrating the setup.
This was perfect for a new ICU nurse.
Such a helpful video! Thank you!
Thank you, wonderful explanation.
Thank you so much! This video was extremely informative. You explained it so well, it was easy to understand and i love the visuals which help me so much.
*Edit*
I'm super keen on the live set-up for this!
This video is so helpful. Thank you so much!
very detailed explanation, thank you :)
thank you. great video!
Great vid!
Subbed...this is good work
How does the pressure wave from the artery get transmitted to the fluid filled tubing without blood getting in the line? And how does it exert a pressure wave if the bag of saline is exerting its own pressure?
I think the reason u do it at the level of the heart is cos pressure in the transducer is proportional to the vertical height of saline in the tube above it so if the tube leading from transducer to saline is more vertical, the pressure in the transducer is greater - u wna zero the transducer at the level that it’s acc gna b in the procedure
If that were the case then you would not only need to look at the transducer being at the level of the RA but also ensure that the hanging saline was at a consistent height above the heart for all patients.
I’ve been watching several videos on this topic and the original poster is correct- however you pose a good point and I’m not sure why only the transducer lcation matters and not how high up the saline is hanging. My guess is the transducer has some internal mechanism that standardizes the pressure of the infused saline as it enters the transducer.
In reference to zeroing the transducer, if this doesn’t need to be done at reference level do you know why it is recommended to lower drip chamber to 0 if using a closed method in External Ventricular Drains?
is there part 2
Did anyone find out the effect of level of zeroing?
Yes your idea is correct but we zero at mid axillary line
