An arterial line is sometimes called an "art line." It is a thin plastic tube, or "catheter," that is placed into an artery. An artery is a blood vessel that brings blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The arterial line is connected to IV fluids.
Doctors most often use an artery in the wrist for an arterial line. They can also use an artery in the groin.Do you want to add Medilib to your home screen?
