Intraarterial cannulation is important for continuous blood pressure monitoring and blood gas analysis throughout the surgical procedure and in intensive care patients. Ultrasonography (USG) has gained popularity in vascular cannulations and facilitates intraarterial interventions. Radial artery is one of the most preferred arteries.
