An Algorithmic Approach to the Management of Limb Ischemia in Infants and Young Children

Vascular injuries in newborns are rare and most commonly occur in the process of obtaining vascular access for monitoring organ system functions or interventions in critical care. Care of vascular injuries in neonates poses several challenges, with the most significant arguably being the lack of clinical experience with such injuries. An algorithm for the management of arterial injuries in pediatric patients is investigated and reported.
