Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Infant	Long-axis/in-plane US-guided arterial catheterization	Radial artery or posterior tibial artery of patients younger than 1 year old are either cannulated with short-axis/out-of-plane or long-axis/in-plane US-guided arterial catheterization technique.
Preschool child	Short-axis/out-of-plane US-guided arterial catheterization	Radial artery or posterior tibial artery of patients older than 1 year old and younger than 5 years old are either cannulated with long-axis/in-plane or short-axis/out-of-plane US-guided arterial catheterization technique.
Infant	Short-axis/out-of-plane US-guided arterial catheterization	Radial artery or posterior tibial artery of patients younger than 1 year old are either cannulated with short-axis/out-of-plane or long-axis/in-plane US-guided arterial catheterization technique.
Preschool child	Long-axis/in-plane US-guided arterial catheterization	Radial artery or posterior tibial artery of patients older than 1 year old and younger than 5 years old are either cannulated with long-axis/in-plane or short-axis/out-of-plane US-guided arterial catheterization technique.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Arterial catheterization time	Interval between contact of the ultrasound transducer with the skin and confirmation of an arterial waveform on the monitor, an expected average of 200 seconds

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Ultrasound imaging time	Interval between contact of the ultrasound transducer with the skin and penetration of the needle through the skin, an expected average of 30 seconds
Time to first puncture of the artery	Interval between skin penetration of the needle and flashback of blood, an expected average of 100 seconds
Number of puncture attempts	Up to 5 times, an expected average observation time of 600 seconds
