Ultrasound-Guided Dynamic Needle-Tip Positioning Method Is Superior to Conventional Palpation and Ultrasound Method in Arterial Catheterization. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11216539. [PMID: 36362767 PMCID: PMC9655328 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11216539] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Dynamic needle-tip positioning (DNTP) was shown to improve arterial cannulation efficiency with fewer complications than conventional palpation and ultrasound methods by some studies. However, this is still controversial, and we performed this meta-analysis to comprehensively assess its value in arterial cannulation. Methods: A literature search of randomized controlled trials was conducted, and 11 studies were finally included. Efficiency outcomes (first-attempt success, overall success, and total cannulation time) and complications (hematoma, thrombosis, posterior wall puncture, and vasospasm) were separately analyzed. Subgroup analyses in different populations under cannulation were also performed. Results: DNTP was associated with increased first-attempt success (pooled RR = 1.792, p < 0.001), overall success (pooled RR = 1.368, p = 0.001), and decreased cannulation time (pooled SMD = −1.758, p = 0.001) than palpation. DNTP gained even more advantage in small children and infants. No significant difference in these outcomes between DNTP and conventional ultrasound method was detected. Fewer hematoma occurred in DNTP than palpation (pooled RR = 0.265, p < 0.001) or traditional ultrasound (pooled RR = 0.348, p < 0.001). DNPT was also associated with fewer posterior wall punctures (pooled RR = 0.495, p = 0.001) and vasospasm (pooled RR = 0.267, p = 0.007) than traditional ultrasound. Conclusions: DNTP was a better choice in artery cannulation than conventional palpation and ultrasound method, especially in small children and infants.

Tian Y, Bai B, Zhang Y, Che L, Wang J, Wang Y, Yu C, Huang Y. The Improved Catheterization Is Associated With the Deeper Radial Arteries in Ultrasound-Guided Dynamic Needle Tip Positioning Technique. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:803124. [PMID: 35242780 PMCID: PMC8885597 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.803124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Accepted: 01/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to determine the associations between the first-attempt success and arterial depth in ultrasound-guided radial artery catheterization (RAC) with dynamic needle tip positioning (DNTP) technique. This study also aimed to further explore the cut-off depth correlated to improved first-attempt success catheterization in less time. Methods The cases undertaken by RAC within the DNTP technique between March 2019 and July 2020 were extracted from our institutional cohort database. Relevant variables were collected, including patients' demographics and catheterized information. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the association. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the Youden index were used to explore the cut-off values of the arterial depth. Categorized cases according to the cut-off values, the Kaplan-Meier analysis, and the log-rank test were used to determine the difference of first-attempt success with limited catheterized time between groups. Results In this study, 119 patients were enrolled and 98 achieved first-attempt success. The first-attempt success catheterization was observed to be correlated to arterial depth (p < 0.01, odds ratio 6.47). An optimal cut-off depth of 2.25 mm was found using the Youden index (0.53) by ROC curve (area under curve 0.77). Arterial depth of more than 2.25 mm was correlated to improved first-attempt success catheterization in less time (log-rank p < 0.01). Conclusion To achieve first-attempt success catheterization using the DNTP technique, an arterial depth of more than 2.25 mm was associated with less catheterized time.

Wrist Extension Does Not Change the Position of the Radial Artery: Cadaveric Study With Application to Arterial Line Placement, and Transradial Neurointerventional Procedures. World Neurosurg 2021; 155:e588-e591. [PMID: 34474160 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2021.08.105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 08/21/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/09/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The radial artery is gaining popularity as a vascular access site for neurointerventional procedures. However, recent analyses of wrist position and radial artery anatomy has suggested that the extended position of the wrist is not always necessary. Therefore, the following cadaveric study was performed to verify these findings. METHODS Twenty adult cadaveric upper limbs underwent dissection of the radial artery. The radial artery was exposed but left in its anatomical position. With the hand supinated, the wrist was extended to 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Observations were then made of any movement of the artery during these ranges of motion. Next, a tension gauge was attached to the radial artery and any tension on the artery measured during the above noted ranges of motion. RESULTS During extension of the wrist, none of the radial artery specimens was found to move in any direction. Moreover, an average of only 0.28 N of tension on the artery was found with wrist extension up to 90 degrees. Our cadaveric study found that, contrary to popular belief, extension of the wrist during cannulation of the radial artery does not change the position of the artery nor does it significantly alter the tension on the artery. CONCLUSIONS These data support several recent clinical studies.
