Set-up and Use of DRAWS
• Place the wrist in a thumbs up position.
• Recommend medial extension of the wrist to maximize success at access to the radial artery.
• Optional to use Coban (blue wrap) to provide additional stability for the forearm.
• Fluoroscopy can be used to confirm wire placement within the radial artery prior to placing the sheath if necessary.
• Post-procedure, simply remove sterile drapes and apply hemostasis in usual technique.
