Etching. You can create a one-of-a-kind driveway with a technique known as etching. Patterns and designs are etched into your existing driveway with special tools to create a permanent design. The choice of designs includes stone patterns, special logos and graphics.
Depending on its size, you might not be able to obtain a blood sample from a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). For example, drawing blood from small-gauge PICC lines (2 or 3 French) can be difficult. Although sources vary, the Infusion Nurses Society recommends using the distal port of a multi-lumen catheter for blood sampling. The distal port is largest (16-gauge) and has a greater flow rate.
Your doctor will insert a catheter tube into your blood vessel. Your doctor will take x ray pictures to help place the catheter in your coronary artery. After the catheter is in place, your doctor will inject the contrast dye through the catheter to highlight blockages and will take x ray pictures of your heart. If blockages are detected, your doctor may use percutaneous coronary intervention, also known as coronary angioplasty, to improve blood flow to your heart.
