Summary

Investigators designed a prospective randomized controlled study to compare the long-axis/in-plane and short-axis/out-of-plane methods during the ultrasound-guided arterial catheterization in pediatric patients younger than 5 years old.

Conditions

• Arterial Catheterization
• Child

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Long-axis/in-plane US-guided arterial catheterization	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.
OTHER	Short-axis/out-of-plane US-guided arterial catheterization	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.
