Recent meta-analysis comparing the success rates of various methods of arterial cannulation in adult patients found heterogeneity in the available data. Hence, we did this study to evaluate and compare the success rate of palpatory method with that of ultrasound guided methods of radial artery cannulation. The aim is to compare the first-attempt success rate of the palpatory method with that of ultrasound-guided radial artery cannulation techniques, namely, the short-axis out-of-plane and the long-axis in-plane methods.
