Se analiza la tolerancia y complicaciones derivadas de la canulación radial percutánea breve (CRPB) en 55 pacientes ambulatorios consecutivos en los que se practicó una prueba de esfuerzo. Nuestros resultados muestran que la CRPB es una técnica: 1) rápida(tiempo de colocación (x±SD): 2,9±4,4 min); 2) de excelente rentabilidad exploratoria (permitió obtener una muestra de sangre arterial en todos los pacientes, tanto en reposo como durante el esfuerzo); 3) sin complicaciones importantes (inmediatas o tardías); y, 4) muy bien tolerada (más el 90% de los pacientes estaba dispuesto a repetirla y el 60% de ellos la prefería a la punción arterial simple). Se concluye que la CRPB puede ser rutinariamente empleada en la práctica ambulatoria de una prueba de esfuerzo.

The compliance and the complications of short-term percutaneous radial artery cannulation (CRPB) were assessed in 55 consecutive outpatients referred for exercise testing. Our results showed that CRPB: 1) is a non time-consuming method (insertion time [x±SD]: 2,9±4,4 min); 2) it is highly efflcient(sine it allowed to obtain arterial blood samples oth at rest and during exercise in all the patients); 3) it has not remarkable complications (neither acute ñor delayed); and 4) it is very well tolerated (more than 90% of the patients agreed to its repetition and 60% of them preferred CRPB to simple arterial punture).

It is concluded that CRPB may be used as routine in ambulatory exercise testing.
