    Objective: Systematize the evidence about the effectiveness of the use of saline solution compared to the use of heparinized solution to permeabilize the arterial line and avoid obstructions in intensive care unit patients. Method: Review A review of the evidence available in the databases: MEDLINE, PUBMED, SCIELO AND COCHRANE LIBRARY has been carried out, from the years 2010 to 2019; Randomized, quasi-experimental, cross-sectional clinical trials on the use of heparin versus the use of saline to improve the patency of arterial catheters were included. Results: 10 articles were found, which discuss, compare and analyze the use of heparin to improve arterial catheter patency. Conclusions: Studies show that the use of heparin is associated with a lower incidence of arterial catheter obstruction, also increasing its average life and improving its duration. However, some articles showed little difference when choosing whichever solution was used.
