ABSTRACT: Objective: To investigate the prevalence of peripheral arterial catheter dysfunction in ICU patients and analyze its influencing factors, providing a basis for early precise identification and intervention. Methods: Adult patients in the ICU of a tertiary hospital in Jingzhou, Hubei Province, from February to August 2025, were selected as the study subjects. Patients were divided into a dysfunction group and a non-dysfunction group. Univariate analysis and binary logistic regression analysis were employed to assess the influencing factors of peripheral arterial catheter dysfunction. Results: A total of 240 patients were included, with a dysfunction incidence rate of 29.2%. Eight indicators, including catheter dwell time, maintenance frequency, total number of blood draws, incidence of agitation, and ultrasound utilization rate, showed statistically significant differences between groups (P Conclusion: The incidence of dysfunction during arterial catheterization in ICU patients is relatively high, necessitating the development of personalized prevention strategies and early precise identification to reduce the occurrence of catheter dysfunction.
