Heparinised saline versus normal saline in the maintenance of invasive arterial lines in intensive care
Intr Maintaining the patency of arterial lines is essential for obtaining accurate physiological measurements, enabling blood sampling and minimising the time, expense and patient discomfort incurred by line replacement. HS is commonly used to maintain and prolong arterial line patency. In 2008, a National Patient Safety Agency alert advised organisations to minimise its use for this purpose fo...
متن کاملFinding a solution: Heparinised saline versus normal saline in the maintenance of invasive arterial lines in intensive care.
BACKGROUND We assessed the impact of heparinised saline versus 0.9% normal saline on arterial line patency. Maintaining the patency of arterial lines is essential for obtaining accurate physiological measurements, enabling blood sampling and minimising line replacement. Use of heparinised saline is associated with risks such as thrombocytopenia, haemorrhage and mis-selection. Historical studies...

متن کاملSaline and Heparinised Flush in Maintaining Patency of Arterial Catheters in Adult Patients—A Systematic Review
This paper compares the effectiveness of normal saline and heparinised saline as a flushing solution in maintaining patency of arterial catheters. Use of heparin as a flushing solution in maintaining patency of intraarterial catheters has been a recognized practice. Due to its anticoagulation properties, heparin can cause side effects like heparin-induced thrombocytopenia in hypersensitive pati...
