Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Femoral artery.	Real-time ultrasound-guided out-of-plane femoral artery cannulation.	Cannulation of the femoral artery.
Axillary artery.	Real-time ultrasound-guided in-plane infraclavicular axillary artery cannulation.	Cannulation of the axillary artery.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Cannulation success rate	24 hours	The goal of the assessment of the cannulation success rate is essential for the estimation of the usefulness of both artery approaches in clinical practice.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of puncture attempts.	24 hours	The goal of the assessment is the evaluation which approach is easier to perform.
Procedure complication rate.	24 hours	The goal of the assessment of the early mechanical complication rate is crucial for the estimation of the safety of both procedures in clinical practice.
