Arterial catheterization provides critical care patients with continuous blood pressure monitoring and arterial access for blood gas analysis. This common bedside procedure requires strict aseptic technique to prevent infection and other potential complications.

Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Vascular Access Procedures

Background:

  • Arterial catheterization is a vital tool in managing critically ill patients.
  • It enables continuous hemodynamic monitoring and frequent arterial blood sampling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the indications, methods, and potential complications of arterial catheterization.
  • To emphasize the importance of aseptic technique in preventing catheter-related infections.

Main Methods:

  • Percutaneous insertion using the Seldinger technique.
  • Cannulation of major arteries including radial, brachial, axillary, femoral, and dorsalis pedis.
  • Emphasis on meticulous aseptic technique during insertion and maintenance.

Main Results:

  • Arterial catheterization is generally an easily accomplished bedside procedure.
  • Key complications include infection, hemorrhage, ischemia, arteriovenous fistula, and pseudoaneurysm.

    • Conclusions:

    • Arterial catheterization is essential for hemodynamic monitoring and blood gas analysis in critical care.
    • Adherence to aseptic technique is paramount to minimize infectious complications.
    • Awareness of potential complications is crucial for patient safety.
