Abstract:
In blood pressure monitoring apparatus, apparatus for withdrawing blood from a tube connected to a patient's blood vessel. A stopcock is connected to the tube. A T-connector is connected to one port of the stopcock. A storage syringe is connected to one branch of the T-connector and a latex self-sealing cap covers the other port to provide an IV site suitable for penetration with a syringe needle to withdraw a blood sample through the IV site. The storage syringe brings blood to the T-connector so that it can be withdrawn through the IV site.
