Intra-arterial administration of lidocaine and papaverine may be an effective pharmacological treatment for reversing peripheral artery catheter-induced ischemic injury in infants.
May offer a salvage option for refractory infant catheter ischemia; leaves open the need for prospective safety and efficacy data.
The occurrence of catheter-induced vasospasm of small caliber arteries is a well known complication of arterial catheterization in neonates. However, there is rare publication about these complications in infants. We report infants with peripheral ischemia caused by arterial catheterization of the femoral artery.
