Abstract:
Objective To compare the effects of invasive blood pressure monitoring of the shallow temporal artery and radial artery in infants. Methods 40 infants with serious illness were randomly selected to monitor their blood pressure by puncturing the shallow temporal artery and radial artery on the same side. The success rate of puncture at a time, average puncture time, press time after extubation and complications during cannulation were compared. Results The success rate of puncture at a time in the shallow temporal artery was higher than that in the radial artery ( x2 = 12.17 ,P ＜0. 01 ). The average puncture time for the shallow temporal artery and the radial artery were ( 7.05 ± 1.50) min and ( 11.18 ± 2.51 ) min, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant( t = 11.69, P ＜ 0. 01 ). The press time of the shallow temporal artery after extubation [(9.45 ± 1.72) min]was longer than that of the radial artery[( 8.00 ± 1.63 ) min]( t = 10. 84, P ＜ 0. 01 ),the occurrence of needle displacement and dislocation during cannulation were significantly higher in the shallow temporal artery ( x2 = 4.501, P ＜ 0. 05 ) and the occurrence of hemorrhage and hematoma at the puncture site was not significantly different (x2 = 0. 353,0. 215;P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusions It is safe and feasible to choose the shallow temporal artery for invasive blood pressure monitoring in infants with serious illness, and it could improve the success rate of puncture, save puncture time, not only gain time for rescue, but also reduce nurses' workload.
