A member asked:
Is dead nerve, muscle & tissue leading to loss of use of right limb common risk after insertion of arterial line through navel of newborn?born wt pphd
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I wouldn't assume it has anything to do with the catheter. There is no direct communication of that catheter with any site involved with the nerves or blood supply of the limb. It is more likely part of the serious issues which required the catheter in the first place.
