Effect of mild sedation and analgesia on radial artery cannulation in novice residents: a prospective, randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Radial artery cannulation can be challenging, particularly for inexperienced providers. This study aimed to compare the success rates of resident physicians performing radial artery cannulation with mild sedation and analgesia versus without.

Materials and methods

This study was a prospective, single-center, double-blind randomized controlled trial. Twelve anesthesiology residents performed radial artery insertions on 96 patients. The procedures were conducted with either mild sedation and analgesia (treatment group) or an equivalent volume of 0.9%Nacl (control group), in a random order. The primary outcome was the success rate of radial artery cannulation within 10 min for each group. Secondary outcomes included the first-attempt success rate, visual analogue sca
