Brief Summary

The investigators aim to determine if ultrasound guidance results in improved technique when drawing blood via a radial artery puncture.

Conditions

Radial Artery; Ultrasonography

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Is only one puncture attempt necessary to attain the radial artery? yes/no

  maximum two hours

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• The number of puncture attempts required to attain the radial artery

  maximum two hous

• Visual Analog Scale score for pain felt by the patient (0.0 to 10.0)

  Maximum two hours

• Visual Analog Scale score for patient satisfaction (0.0 to 10.0)

  Maximum two hours

• Visual Analog Scale score for health professional satisfaction (0.0 to 10.)

  Maximum two hours

• Presence / absence of a hematoma at the site of puncture

  two hours

Study Arms (2)

With ultrasound guidance

EXPERIMENTAL

In this group of patients, ultrasound guidance will be used when drawing blood from the radial artery.

Procedure: Artery puncture with ultrasound guidance

Without ultrasound guidance

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In this group of patients, no ultrasound guidance will be used when drawing blood from the radial artery.

Procedure: Artery puncture without ultrasound guidance

Interventions

Artery puncture with ultrasound guidance PROCEDURE

Ultrasound device will be used to locate artery for puncture.

With ultrasound guidance

Artery puncture without ultrasound guidance PROCEDURE

Blood drawn from radial artery according to conventional procedure, without ultrasound guidance.

Without ultrasound guidance
