Abstract

A 76-year-old with a history of CAD and numerous stent placements in the past presented for a CABG. While on cardiopulmonary bypass, a radial arterial line was used to monitor his MAP, showing significant hypotension requiring epinephrine, norepinephrine, vasopressin, and ultimately methylene blue use. His aorta and femoral artery were cannulated at the end of his CBP run, both of which read higher than his radial arterial line, suggesting that he was over-resuscitated during the case. In this case report, we will discuss routine radial artery catheterization use for cardiac surgery, and whether brachial arterial pressure monitoring is superior.
