Time to Insertion of Radial Artery Cannulation
Ultrasound-guided Versus Direct Palpation Radial Artery Catheter Insertion Among Cardiac Anesthesiologists
When a patient undergoes heart surgery, their Anesthesiologist will insert a tiny plastic tube, called a catheter, in the artery of the patient's wrist. This is called a radial artery catheter.
