Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare USG-guidance with blind palpation technique in radial artery catheterization in terms of first-pass success rate and final success rate among critically ill patients presenting with hypotensionTimepoint: after completion of catheterization—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The final success rate, total number of attempts needed for catheterization, time for successful catheterization (cannulation time),total time taken in the procedure, failure rate, number of catheters used, posterior wall hemorrhages, hematoma, incidence of spasm and other complications and crossover to either technique.Timepoint: after completion of catheterization—
