Complications After Arterial Catheterization
Conditions
Brief summary
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.
Detailed description
artery observation with ultrasound
Interventions
Ultrasonography is used to evaluate the change in artery size after arterial catheterization and to assess the complication in children
measurement of perfusion index immediately after arterial catheterization until surgery end, in arterial catheterization site and contralateral site.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of complications associated with arterial catheterization | within 5 days after 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. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Time-dependent changes in perfusion index | from arterial catheterization to the end of surgery | Perfusion index was continuously monitored throughout surgery, on both sides: the digit on the side of the arterial line placement and the opposite side |
| Age as a risk factor | within 5 days after arterial catheterization | To evaluate the age as one of the risk factors for complications following arterial catheterization using univariable logistic regression analysis. |
| Number of attempts as a risk factor | within 5 days after arterial catheterization | To evaluate the number of attempts of arterial catheterization as one of the risk factors for complications |
| Duration of catheterization as a risk factor | within 5 days after arterial catheterization | To evaluate the duration of catheterization as one of the risk factors for complications |
