Complications of invasive monitoring
Abstract
Invasive monitoring in anesthesiology is relatively safe. Arterial catheterization in particular has an extremely low rate of serious complications. Radial, brachial, and femoral artery catheterization sites appear to have similar and low complication rates. CVP and PA catheters are more dangerous and entail potentially fatal complications. The most troublesome complication with CVP catheters is perforation of the heart or cava, which should be avoidable under most circumstances if care is taken to position the catheter properly, outside the heart. Chest radiography should be used to specifically ascertain that the catheter is not in a dangerous location. The most troublesome complication with PA catheters is perforation of the pulmonary artery. This is probably a sporadic problem, and it is not necessarily avoidable by adherence to particular techniques. It should be assumed that hemoptysis in a patient with a PA catheter is caused by perforation of the pulmonary artery until proven otherwise, and it should be treated aggressively.

“Furthermore, continuous monitoring of certain vital signs, such as blood pressure, demands additional wired hardware, such as peripheral and umbilical arterial catheters4, which can induce other types of complications, including thrombus formation and occlusion, infection (e.g. sepsis), rupture, pseudoaneurysm, bleeding, and death5–7.”

In the citing paper
“Episodic measurements of BP in current clinical practice on neonates and pediatric patients involve miniaturized, but otherwise conventional, BP cuffs that wrap around the limbs, while continuous tracking requires catheter-based pressure sensors (arterial lines) that insert into peripheral arteries. Both procedures, particularly the latter, are invasive and involve multiple risk factors4”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
