AbstractThe use of arterial lines is now common in the care of critically ill patients. Intra-arterial cannulation with continuous blood pressure transduction and display remains the accepted standard for comprehensive arterial blood pressure monitoring. This article will illustrate a technique for percutaneous radial artery cannulation as well as outlining the indications, contraindications and possible complications of arterial cannulation.
