Open stopcock to patient's arterial line
Flush system with flush solution to remove air bubbles
Close stopcock to patient's arterial line
Press zero button on monitor to zero the transducer
Confirm proper zeroing on monitor display
Verifying accuracy of arterial line
Perform dynamic response test by rapidly flushing flush solution through the system
Observe monitor for appropriate waveform and pressure response
Perform static response test by ensuring pressure reading returns to baseline when system is closed off
Compare arterial line pressure reading to manual blood pressure reading for accuracy
Documentation and monitoring
Document initial zeroing of arterial line in patient's medical record
Monitor arterial line pressure readings regularly for accuracy
Re-zero arterial line if needed after patient position changes or system disruptions
Document any re-zeroing of arterial line in patient's medical record.
