The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of complications associated with arterial catheterization in cats in a veterinary hospital, and to document which factors may increase the incidence of complications.
Medical records at a referral veterinary hospital were retrospectively reviewed to identify cats that had an arterial catheter placed between January 2010 and October 2014.
Thirty-five cats having 38 arterial catheters were included in the study. There was a relatively high incidence of minor complications (23.7%), with the most common being catheter occlusion. The incidence of major arterial catheter complications was low (2.63%). Duration of catheter use was positively correlated to the incidence of complications. There was also a significant correlation between catheters used for intensive care unit monitoring and incidence of complications. All cats with catheter complications survived to discharge.
The low incidence of major arterial catheter complications in this population of cats illustrates that arterial catheterization is a safe monitoring and diagnostic tool. The duration of catheter placement is significantly associated with the incidence of catheter complications.
本研究旨在调查一家兽医医院中猫动脉插管相关并发症的发生率,并记录哪些因素可能增加并发症的发生率。
回顾性分析一家转诊兽医医院的病历,以确定2010年1月至2014年10月期间接受动脉插管的猫。
35只猫共置入38根动脉导管纳入研究。轻微并发症的发生率相对较高(23.7%),最常见的是导管堵塞。严重动脉导管并发症的发生率较低(2.63%)。导管使用时间与并发症发生率呈正相关。用于重症监护病房监测的导管与并发症发生率之间也存在显著相关性。所有发生导管并发症的猫均存活至出院。
该猫群中严重动脉导管并发症的发生率较低,说明动脉插管是一种安全的监测和诊断工具。导管放置时间与导管并发症的发生率显著相关。
