Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Adult patients aged 18 to 65 years, either gender, American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) physical status 1-3 requiring arterial cannulation under general anaesthesia for elective or emergency surgeries will be included in the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Refusal to participate, surgery under regional anaesthesia, negative modified Allenââ?¬•s test for collaterals, patients with a diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease, surgery at the radial artery site, coagulation disorders, hemodynamically unstable patients, obese patients BMI more than 35, burns at arterial puncture site, local site infection.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluate if DiWA is non-inferior to ultrasound-guided arterial cannulation in terms of first-attempt success rate.Timepoint: baseline and at 24hours

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Time to be required for successful cannulationTimepoint: in seconds/ minutes;Number of redirections needed for arterial cannulation.Timepoint: 1-3;Number of attempts for successful cannulationTimepoint: 1-3;Overall success or failure ratesTimepoint: Successful/ failure;Rate of complications at arterial puncture site such as hematoma formation, vasospasm following arterial cannulation.Timepoint: between 0 to 100%
