About this study

Official title: Ultrasound Guided Arterial Puncture: a Prospective, Blinded, Randomised Controlled Trial.

The main purpose of the study is to evaluate whether the routine use of ultrasound guided arterial puncture can increase the proportion of patients who only needs one puncture attempt in order to successfully extract enough blood to make an arterial blood gas analysis, when ultrasound guided arterial puncture is compared to conventional arterial puncture technique.

Being tested
Ultrasound guided arterial puncture, Conventional arterial puncture technique

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Ultrasound guided arterial punctureProcedure or surgery

    Arterial puncture is performed using simultaneously ultrasound in order to guide the passage of the syringe from the patient's skin to the artery

  • Conventional arterial puncture techniqueProcedure or surgery

    Arterial puncture is performed using the conventional technique

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The proportion of patients who only needs one puncture attempt in order to successfully extract enough blood to make an arterial blood gas analysis

    Measured: up to 1 hour after arterial puncture

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time used for arterial puncture

    Measured: up to 1 hour after arterial puncture

  2. Patient corporation

    Patient corporation is subjectively estimated by the physician performing the arterial puncture. The degree of patient corporation are assessed on a scale from 1 - 5, where 1 is very poor patient corporation and 5 is perfect patient corporation.

    Measured: up to 1 hour after arterial puncture

  3. Pain Scores on the Visual Analog Scale

    Measured: Up to 1 hour after arterial puncture

  4. Number of attempts before successfully acquiring arterial puncture

    Measured: up to 1 hour after arterial puncture
