Intra-arterial catheters are used to introduce fluids, such as drugs, into or take blood samplesfrom patients. The catheter itself is a small plastic tube with connectors. The plastic tube isinserted into the artery and the connectors lie on the outside of the patients’ body makingintroducing fluids or taking samples straightforward and painless.Intra-arterial catheterisation procedures have become very common in modern medicalpractice and are of great benefit to patients for a number of reasons, especially when operatingin critical areas such as the brain and the heart. However they are not without risk.One potential problem is that blood clots can form at the end of the plastic tube within theartery and these can cause minor and major clinical incidents. To prevent the clot formationsaline is dripped through the catheter either manually or through an electronic infusion pump.There are however a number of documented deficiencies with the latter which means that thepotential for clot formation is not eliminated.This study is to quantify the rates of blood clot formation incidents, and other associatedproblems and to explore the possibility of designing and developing a new system, to bemanufactured in the UK, that would connect with current infusion pumps to eliminate thedeficiencies.

动脉内导管用于将液体（如药物）引入患者体内或从患者体内采集血液样本。导管本身是一个带有接头的小塑料管。将塑料管插入动脉，连接器位于患者体外，可以直接无痛地导入液体或采集样本。动脉内导管插入术在现代医疗实践中已非常普遍，并且由于多种原因对患者非常有益，特别是在大脑和心脏等关键部位进行手术时。然而，它们也不是没有风险的，一个潜在的问题是，血液凝块可能在动脉内的塑料管末端形成，这些可能导致轻微和重大的临床事件。为了防止血栓形成，通过导管手动或通过电子输液泵滴入生理盐水。然而，后者存在许多有记录的缺陷，这意味着血栓形成的可能性没有消除。本研究旨在量化血栓形成事件的发生率，以及其他相关问题，并探索设计和开发一种新系统的可能性，在英国制造，与现有的输液泵连接，以消除这些缺陷。
