Presentation
Bright red blood is usually, but not always, present, and a pulsating needle is sometimes present. Hematoma is a relatively common complication, and brachial artery pseudoaneurysms are rare, although one case was seen in this study. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Raynaud Syndrome
Consider an alternative site if there is evidence of decreased or absent collateral flow in areas where flow normally exists, such as in Raynaud’s syndrome or an abnormal result on the modified Allen test (discussed later in the section “Techniques”). [clinicalgate.com]
-
Localized Pain
Intradermal injection of lidocaine before arterial puncture decreases the incidence and severity of localized pain [1,7]. [acutecaretesting.org]

Vascular Disease
There were four failures to achieve hemostasis using the device due to: inability to place the device because of peripheral vascular disease, entrapment of cutaneous tissue in the suture, a suture break that prevented hemostasis from being achieved, and [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although the current research does not support use of the Allen’s Test when drawing every ABG it is imperative that an over all examination for the presence of severe peripheral vascular disease be made to the area distal to the site. [sharinginhealth.ca]

Skin
-
Darkly Pigmented Skin
pigmented skin, thoracic outlet syndrome, pre‐existing anatomical variations and limited cooperation during cannulation. 7 Palpation of the vessel before puncture should help to detect the presence of an accessory artery. [bja.oxfordjournals.org]

Splinter Hemorrhage
Splinter hemorrhages can be a feature of the antiphospholipid syndrome. We describe a patient in whom splinter hemorrhages developed following radial artery puncture. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Abstract We report successful transvenous treatment of direct carotid-cavernous fistula in a patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV using a novel triple-overlay embolization (TAILOREd) technique without the need for arterial puncture, which is known [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment of post-puncture arterial pseudoaneurysms can range from conservative management, for lesions smaller than 2 cm - through compression with the Doppler machine transducer and injection of thrombin - to conventional surgical or endovascular treatment [scielo.br]
Etiology
Blunt trauma and vascular access attempts are the most common etiologic factors. We present two infants with brachial artery pseudoaneurysm in the antecubital region following accidental arterial puncture. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
Although three other suture breaks occurred, these did not prevent hemostasis from being achieved. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Clotted specimen Prevention Tactic 2. Make sure to properly mix the sample after collection; also be sure to use heparin syringe. Rejection Criteria 3. Hemolysis of the specimen Prevention Tactic 3. [quizlet.com]
