2021 Curriculum for Acute Care Common Stem Training Version 1.3 August 2021. 5.5 Assessment of ACCS practical procedures (Clinical ACCS LO 5) Establish invasive monitoring (central venous pressure and arterial line) Entrustment requirement: 2a. DOPS assessment for arterial line or simulated practice with reflection recorded.

Diagnostic procedures. 7. Carry out arterial blood gas and acid base sampling from the radial artery in adults. Insert a needle into a patient's radial artery (in the wrist) to take a sample of arterial blood and interpret the results.

ISCP August 2021. To be able to undertake the adjunctive procedures of arterial blood gas sampling and interpretation along with obtaining arterial line access.

ISCP August 2021. To undertake Vascular Ultrasound to allow the delivery of Vascular Surgery procedures by being able to undertake intra-operative arterial quality control assessments and allow control of percutaneous venous and arterial punctures.

ISCP August 2021. To understand the commonly used intra-operative arterial and venous access sites and so undertake femoral artery punctures both open and ultrasound guided. To subsequently be able to obtain satisfactory intra-operative angiograms and recognise an inadequate study with the need for alternative angiographic views.
