Thank you for the video. I would like to make one correction: priming of the pressure tubing should always be done WITHOUT the pressure bag being inflated, as this may cause micro-bubbles in the tubing and affecting the accuracy of the pressures (over-damped waveform).
Thanks for your helpful presentation. I notice that a lot of demonstrations of pressure tubing set up are skipping the manufacturer recommendations of expelling the air from the fluid bag attached to the transducer tubing to prevent possible air entrainment should the bag go dry and only placing the bag under pressure after the tubing has been gravity flushed to prevent damage to the transducer. Those steps were seared into my memory when I first trained but I'm finding colleagues who have never heard of them....You know, things that make you go hmmmm!
I hope you know how to use these now. But the fluid from the saline bag is just used to keep the line under pressure and doesnt flow or go in to the patient at all. Same for a regular artery line
