Radial Artery Cannulation: A Review Article

Abstract: Percutaneous radial artery cannulation is a well established procedure that is commonly used in the operating room and intensive care units. Relevant anatomy and attention in detail during cannulation and maintenance are important aspects of the technique that enhance patient safety. Access to the arterial circulation will remain important for hemodynamic monitoring and access to arterial blood. This article reviews the current indications, contraindications, pre-procedure assessment, technique, complications,… Show more

“…The average depth of the radial artery from the skin in adults and children is 2.5 ± 0.3 mm [ 10 ] and 2.3 ± 0.7 mm [ 8 ], respectively. The radial artery originates from the brachial artery and reaches the lateral side of the wrist [ 11 ]. After the radial artery divides into the superficial and deep branches at the styloid process level of the radial head, the radial and ulnar arteries are connected with the superficial palmar and deep palmar arches.…”

“…In addition, the conventional method of blood sampling for BGA may be hazardous in clinical situations such as coagulation disorders, patients on severe anticoagulant therapy, the presence of arterial graft and severe vascular disease. It may also not be feasible in patients with simple intoxication, for regular control in patients with obstructive lung disease, and in athletes (1)(2)(3)(4).…”

“…Significant ischemic injury occurs infrequently (<1%) with RAC, but can be disastrous when it does. 9 11 A recent report by Rashid et al 12 noted that the radial artery is an increasingly common conduit for cardiology procedures, and radial artery preservation is a desirable outcome. Rashid found an incidence of 5.5% radial artery occlusion (often without associated ischemic injury) 1 week after RAC for cardiology procedures, derived from a meta-analysis of 66 studies containing 31 345 participants.…”
