94-98. Case Study 3:Patient Veve Kho was admitted to the ICU due diabetic ketoacidosis. The physician in-charge of her requested for serial arterial blood gas analysis to monitor her compensation to the acidotic state conferred by her condition. You were the MedTech in-charge of her case. 94. As a trained medical technologist to do arterial puncture, you performed the modified Allen's test to the patient. Upon release of the pressure on the ulnar artery, there was no change in the color of the palms. How do you interpret this? OA. There is an intact collateral circulation to the hands. OB. The ulnar artery is not patent. OC. Nerve is impinged along the side of the radial artery. O D. Arterial puncture to the radial artery may be performed. 95. While doing your arterial puncture on the brachial artery, you aspirated blood that was bright red and fills the syringe without even pulling the plunger. How would you react to this and what could be the possible reason? A. Discontinue immediately because you punctured a vein instead of an artery. B. Apply pressure on the puncture site to prevent the formation of hematoma due to the leakage of blood to the surrounding tissue. C. Retract the needle slightly, the rapid flow of blood indicates that you punctured too deep. OD. Relax and continue filling the syringe, your procedure is correct. 96. After your procedure, you realized that you used the regular syringe instead of the heparinized syringe. What should you do? OA. Redraw using a heparinized syringe. OB. Transfer your blood specimen to a green top immediately. OC. Aspirate heparin into the syringe and mix gently. OD. Submit the specimen immediately to the laboratory and label it stat.
