In this issue, we present a randomized, double-blind trial of subcutaneous nitroglycerin for prevention of occlusion during radial artery line removal in infants. A simple intervention performed before puncture and extraction suggests improved peripheral perfusion and is worth considering as a candidate for standard procedure in the PICU and operating room....

This time it is a double-blind, randomized study of whether the incidence of catheter failure differs depending on the material of the arterial line. This is a double-blind randomized trial to determine whether the incidence of catheter failure differs depending on the material of the arterial line. The study ended early with a strong difference. Blood pressure monitoring with arterial catheters is an essential technique for hemodynamic assessment of critically ill patients in the ICU....

How are A-lines (arterial catheters) managed in your institution? Actually, there are not many studies that have investigated the current status of A-line management. In this study, we present the results of a survey on the current status of A-line management in acute care wards (ICUs and HCUs) in Japan.
