Back in the day we would standardly do all FA injecions on all patients with
the arm elevated to or above heart level. I think because the incidence of
'pooling' -and subsequent no/poor tranist- is so low, we have gotten away from
this practice over the years.

Sorry this is late. Been out of town.
This happen to me twice both with obese patients. At mid phases I spoke
to the referring physician about it. With out a pause he said try
raising the arm the dye might be pooling.
I raised the arm and had a good early phase several minutes after the
injection. With repeat tests we starting raising the arm if we saw any
indications of poor early phases.
