Abstract: Objectives: To evaluate whether peripheral arterial catheter management is more effective than umbilical arterial management in very preterm neonates. Methods: Thirty-eight very preterm neonates born in Fukushima Medical University Hospital between October 2008 and March 2010 were evaluated. A peripheral arterial catheter was inserted in 19 neonates (peripheral group) and an umbilical arterial catheter in the remaining 19 neonates (umbilical group). Results: The median gestational ages of the peripheral and umbilical groups were 195 and 185 days, respectively (p=0.04). The systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) was significantly higher in the peripheral group than in the umbilical group (p=0.03 and p=0.001). There was a significant relationship between BP at cannulation and urinary output after cannulation for 24 h in the peripheral group (r_s=0.49, p=0.03); however, no such significant relationship was found in the umbilical group. Conclusions: We considered that peripheral artery catheters provide a well-functioning route for continuous BP monitoring, even in very preterm neonates. Because umbilical catheter placement might affect urinary output, we speculated that peripheral arterial catheter placement would be a more effective management strategy than umbilical arterial catheter placement in very preterm neonates. Further studies of larger populations are necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of arterial management including long-term follow-up studies.
