title: [The SorbaView SHIELD is a Useful Product for Use in Perioperative Management].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  We studied the stability of the continuous arterial pressure line (A line) achieved by using a catheter securement device.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 100 patients requiring an arterial catheter were divided into 2 groups of fixation: (1) fixation achieved by using the SorbaView SHIELD (Centurion Medical Products Corporation, USA) and (2) fixation by using Tegaderm 3 M (TEGADERM 3 M, Japan). We analyzed the stability of the fixation, presence or absence of skin disorders, and the preference by nurses.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The SorbaView SHIELD was superior judged by nurses and was found to render more stability to the fixation of the A line as compared to Tegaderm 3 M, especially when transferring a patient into the intensive care unit after surgery.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We conclude that stability of the A line maintained by the use of the SorbaView SHIELD is more effective in maintaining the stability of the A line.
