What is intra-individual change?
Intra-individual change refers to changes that occur within an individual over time, such as changes in behaviors, attitudes, or skills.

How do you detect arterial puncture and if it happens what should you do?
I assume the 'puncture' is accidental. An arterial puncture is characterized by bright red blood (as opposed to darker venous blood). Arterial cuts bleed fast and forceful, often in time with the heartbeat. If that happens, get thee to an emergency room-quick!

Why are IABP's often used?
Ease of insertion for placement in the aorta makes the intra-aorta balloon pump (IABP) the most often used ventricular assist device
Which type of external bleeding is the blood less likely to clot?
Arterial bleeding is more likely to have difficulty clotting due to the high pressure and oxygenated blood flow from the arteries. This type of bleeding often appears as bright red blood that spurts rhythmically with the heartbeat. Immediate medical attention is crucial for arterial bleeding.
Why arterial blood is taken during dialysis?
We say we are drawing from the "art" port, but often, it is not arterial blood that is drawn. Unless the person has a dialysis access in their arm, the blood drawn from ports on their chest is actually venous blood. However, for the sake of ease, we label and color the machine lines with red and blue and refer to the lines as the arterial line and the venous line.
