Study Overview
Brief Summary
Invasive bloodpressure monitoring is commonly done. Radial artery is commonly cannulated.With the advent of USG deeper arteries like ulnar artery can even be cannulated.In obese patients artery cannulation is proposed to be difficult but we expectit to be done with more ease under USG guidance. Comparison of first attemptsuccess rate of ulnar versus radial arterial cannulation under USG guidance inobese and non-obese groups of patients has not yet been studied.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
To compare the first attempt success rate of radial and ulnar artery cannulation under ultrasound guidance in obese and non-obese groups
Time Frame: At the time 0f arterial cannulation
Secondary Outcomes
- 1. ease of insertion of cannula-easy (1 attempt), difficult (2-3 attempts), failure (more than 3 attempts)(2. Cross-sectional area, maximum internal diameter and depth from skin surface- in short and in long axis view)
