Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Surgery under general anesthesia
  • Requires invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring

Exclusion criteria

  • Infection/hematoma/skin disease/arteriovenous fistula/recent catheterization scar in radial artery or posterior tibial artery
  • Peripheral vascular disease
  • Congenital aortic disease

Treatment and study plan

Long-axis/in-plane US-guided arterial catheterization

Other

Cannulate the radial artery or posterior tibial artery of an infant of a preschool child putting the 24 gauge needle parallel to the ultrasound transducer.

Short-axis/out-of-plane US-guided arterial catheterization

Other

Cannulate the radial artery or posterior tibial artery of an infant or a preschool child putting the 24 gauge needle perpendicular to the ultrasound transducer.

Primary outcomes

  1. Arterial catheterization time

    Time frame: Interval between contact of the ultrasound transducer with the skin and confirmation of an arterial waveform on the monitor, an expected average of 200 seconds

Secondary outcomes

  1. Ultrasound imaging time

    Time frame: Interval between contact of the ultrasound transducer with the skin and penetration of the needle through the skin, an expected average of 30 seconds

  2. Time to first puncture of the artery

    Time frame: Interval between skin penetration of the needle and flashback of blood, an expected average of 100 seconds

  3. Number of puncture attempts

    Time frame: Up to 5 times, an expected average observation time of 600 seconds
