Complications Associated with Arterial Line Placement in Children

Seoul National University Hospital82 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to find the risk factors for complications following arterial line catheterization. Ultrasonography is used to evaluate the size of artery which is cannulated, before and after catheterization. The complications include ischemia, bleeding, thrombosis and so on.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Incidence of complications associated with arterial catheterization

Number of participants with complications following arterial catheterization. The complications include thrombus, ischemia, oozing or bleeding, and color change, etc. If any of these occur, it is assumed that complications have occurred.

Time frame: within 5 days after arterial catheterization

Secondary Outcomes

Time-dependent changes in perfusion index

Perfusion index was continuously monitored throughout surgery, on both sides: the digit on the side of the arterial line placement and the opposite side

Time frame: from arterial catheterization to the end of surgery

Age as a risk factor

To evaluate the age as one of the risk factors for complications following arterial catheterization using univariable logistic regression analysis.

Time frame: within 5 days after arterial catheterization

Number of attempts as a risk factor

To evaluate the number of attempts of arterial catheterization as one of the risk factors for complications

Time frame: within 5 days after arterial catheterization

Duration of catheterization as a risk factor

To evaluate the duration of catheterization as one of the risk factors for complications

Time frame: within 5 days after arterial catheterization
