Study name The efficacy of combined ultrasound‐guided radial artery cannulation in adult surgical patients
Methods Interventional primary study; parallel randomised controlled trial
Participants 120 participants, radial artery, minimum 18 years old, maximum without limit of age
Inclusion criteria
  • adult patients scheduled for surgery under general anaesthesia

  • over 18 years of age

  • requiring invasive arterial pressure monitoring

  • understand and agree to the research agreement


Exclusion criteria
  • undergoing emergency surgery

  • haemorrhagic shock

  • obese with BMI > 30

  • negative modified Allen’s test

  • coagulation disorder

  • underwent arterial catheterisation on the same arm within 7 days

Interventions 1. SA group (short‐axis approach group): only short‐axis approach was used to confirm radial artery
2. SLA group (combined short‐axis and long‐axis approach group): confirm midline of the radial artery through a short‐axis approach, then conduct a catheter with a long‐axis approach, confirming the actual catheter approach in real time
Outcomes Primary
  • first‐attempt success rate for radial artery catheterisation

  • overall success rate for radial artery catheterisation


Secondary
  • depth and diameter of radial artery

  • radial artery catheterisation attempts

  • radial artery catheterisation complications

  • radial artery catheterisation duration

Starting date 4 August 2020
