Pediatric Arterial Catheterization Success Factors from a Prospective Observational Study

320 peripheral arterial catheterization procedures from a pediatric intensive care unit were analyzed, with a 65% first-attempt success rate. The dataset, authored by Jiajia Li and uploaded to figshare, captures patient-, disease-, and procedure-related variables to identify factors influencing cannulation success. Results indicate ultrasound guidance and radial artery insertion are associated with higher odds of success.

Use Cases

• Predicting first-attempt success of arterial catheterization based on insertion site and technique.
• Analyzing the impact of ultrasound guidance timing on the number of cannulation attempts.
• Modeling the association between patient or disease variables and procedural outcomes in a PICU setting.

Strengths

• Includes 320 distinct catheterization procedures as units of analysis.
• Reports a specific first-attempt success rate of 65% (208/320).
• Multivariable analysis provides odds ratios for key factors like insertion site and ultrasound use.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the underlying data table is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single tertiary PICU, which may limit generalizability.
