Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 3690: Clinical Study of Continuous Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring in Neonates
Anita Honkanen Gabrielle Green Keith Drake Rathinaswamy B. Govindan William Rhine Xina Quan The continuous monitoring of arterial blood pressure (BP) is vital for assessing and treating cardiovascular instability in a sick infant. Currently, invasive catheters are inserted into an artery to monitor critically-ill infants. Catheterization requires skill, is time consuming, prone to complications, and often painful. Herein, we report on the feasibility and accuracy of a non-invasive, wearable device that is easy to place and operate and continuously monitors BP without the need for external calibration. The d...

Cost-effectiveness analysis of arterial catheter insertion on robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy
CONCLUSION: The use of arterial lines in patients undergoing RALP is not necessarily guideline-driven and does not decrease the rate of perioperative complications. However, it is associated with longer length of stay and increases variability in charge. These data show that the surgical team and anesthesia team should critically evaluate the need for arterial line placement in patients undergoing RALP.PMID:37074749 (Source: Canadian Journal of Urology)

Midline catheters for blood gas and acid/base monitoring in critical patients: A prospective observational study
CONCLUSIONS: In stabilized critical patients, midline catheters represent a reliable alternative to CVC and arterial lines to monitor acid-base disturbances, CO2 levels and electrolytes. The present findings add to the known advantages of MC, which might be considered a first-line vascular access for non-critical or stabilized patients who do not require infusion of vesicant or irritant drugs.PMID:36971402 | DOI:10.1177/11297298231163352 (Source: The Journal of Vascular Access)
