Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Among the patients in the surgical intensive care unit who are receiving continuous intravenous infusion of norepinephrine, adult patients (19 years of age or older) who require a arterial catheterization – When a new arterial catheterization is needed (ex. malfunction) – If there is no severe hemodynamic instability among patients who newly require arterial catheterization
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: ? Hypersensitivity or contraindication to nitroglycerin (glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, intracranial hemorrhage, sildenafil or vardenafil) ? Hypersensitivity or contraindications to lidocaine ? History of puncture of the radial artery who are planning to attempt arterial catheterization within the last 24 hours ? Wounds, infections, or hematomas at the site where the arterial line is to be placed ? Peripheral vascular disease ? When it is impossible to collect research data on vascular placement due to hemodynamic instability (When norepinephrine requirement is 0.2 µg/kg/min or more) ? If the patient or surrogates refuses to proceed with the research
