Summary

This study looks at whether blood samples taken from a central venous catheter (a large tube in a neck, chest, or groin vein) can give accurate readings of the blood thinner heparin, compared to the usual method of drawing blood from a vein in the arm. About 30 intensive care unit (ICU) patients on continuous heparin will have blood drawn from both sites at the same time. If the central line results match the arm draw results closely enough, it could mean fewer painful needle sticks for ICU patients.
