A Practical Training Program for Peripheral Radial Artery Catheterization in Adult Patients A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial

摘要

Background: The main cause of unsuccessful peripheral radial artery catheterization using traditional palpation is imprecisely locating the arterial center. The authors evaluated factors causing disparities between the arterial centers determined by palpation versus ultrasound. The authors applied them to create and test a novel catheterization training program.
