It is most commonly used in intensive care medicine and anesthesia to monitor the blood pressure real time rather than by intermittent measurement , and to obtain samples for arterial blood gas measurements. It is not generally used to administer medication. Since many injectable drugs used in intensive care and anesthesia , such as sodium pentothal , may lead to serious tissue damage and even amputation if given in an artery the arterial line must be clearly marked to avoid accidental intraarterial injection of intravenous drugs. An arterial line is usually inserted in the wrist radial artery but can also be inserted into the elbow brachial artery , groin femoral artery , foot dorsalis pedis artery . Insertion is often painful however an anesthetic such as Lidocaine can be used to make the insertion more tolerable, but this can make insertion more difficult.

It is the contralateral term to venous blood .

Arterial insufficiency can affect many different parts of the body. The specific symptoms may indicate which artery is involved. If heart arteries are involved, it can cause symptoms of heart attack . If brain arteries are involved, it can cause symptoms of stroke . If the arteries of the lower abdomen or legs are involved, you might have repeated episodes of leg cramping when you walk. Arterial insufficiency also can affect the arteries in the abdomen, causing pain after eating meals. Epidemiology Symptomatic arterial insufficiency is present in 5 to 15 of the adult population over 55 years old Incidence and prevalence increases with age rare in patients 40 years old. Males are affected more often than females in patients under 70 years old, whereas no gender differences observed in patients over 70 years old.

Arterial stiffness occurs as a consequence of age and arteriosclerosis . Age related stiffness occurs when the elastic fibres within the artery arterial wall elastin begin to fray due to mechanical stress. The two leading causes of death in the developed world, myocardial infarction and stroke , are both a direct consequence of atherosclerosis. Increased arterial stiffness is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. The World Health Organisation predicts that in 2010, cardiovascular disease will also be the leading killer in the developing world and represents a major global health problem. Background Once considered by the ancient Greeks as inert conduits within which air flowed, William Harvey is generally credited with being the first to describe the circulation of the blood through arteries. When the heart contracts it generates a pulse or energy wave that travels through the circulation. The speed of travel of this pulse wave pulse wave velocity or PWV is related to the stiffness of the arteries. Other terms that are used to described the mechanical properties of arteries include elastance , or the reciprocal inverse of elastance, compliance.

Acardiac twin The acardiac twin is a parasitic twin that fails to develop a head, arms and a heart . The parasitic twin, little more than a torso with or without legs, receives its blood supply from the host twin by means of an umbilical cord like structure, much like a fetus in fetu , except the acardiac twin is outside the host twin s body. Although the reason is not fully understood, it is apparent that deoxygenated blood from the pump twin is perfused to the acardiac twin. The acardiac twin grows along with the pump twin, but due to inadequate perfusion it is unable to develop the structures necessary for life, and presents with dramatic deformities. Pump twin Structurally the pump twin is generally normal, but due some of the related problems including the rapid growth of the acardiac twin, polyhydramnios, and heart failure due to high output, there is a high mortality rate for the pump twin.

Refimprove date March 2011 The arterial resistivity index RI , developed by Leandre Pourcelot , is a measure of pulsatile blood flow that reflects the Vascular resistance resistance to blood flow caused by microvascular bed distal to the site of measurement. A resistive index of 0 corresponds to continuous flow a resistive index of 1 corresponds to systolic but no diastolic flow and a resistive index greater than 1 corresponds to reversed diastolic flow. Formula Peak systole medicine systolic velocity End diastolic velocity Peak systolic velocity. ref Keats, Theodore. Atlas de medidas radiol gicas.Elsevier. ISBN 9788481746129. Year 2002.p 481. ref The RI is altered not by vascular resistance alone but by the combination of vascular resistance and vascular compliance ref Bude, R and Rubin, J.
