Posterior Tibial Artery Catheterization

September 4, 2017 updated by: Hee-Soo Kim, Seoul National University Hospital

Real-time Ultrasound-guided Arterial Catheterization in Pediatric Patients: Comparison of Success Rate Among the Arteries

Arterial catheterization in small children is challenging, even for experienced anesthesiologists. For successful arterial catheterization, the arterial diameter, cross-sectional area, and depth from the skin surface are important considerations, especially in pediatric patients. THe investigators examined the posterior tibial artery (PTA) and dorsalis pedis artery (DPA) using ultrasound (US) to find a reasonable alternative arterial cannulation site to the radial artery (RA) in pediatric patients.
