- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The main study parameter is the percentage of procedures in which more than one puncture is required for successful venous or arterial cannulation (i.e. failure rate).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary parameters will be the number of punctures and the duration of the procedure. The duration of the procedure starts at the moment the first attempt is made to search for a suitable vessel, by palpating or looking (with the system in use, looking with the system) and ends at the moment the line is flushed.<br /><br>Pain perception by the patient during the puncture will be measured by a standardized pain scales: the COMFORT scale.<br /><br>Other risk factors for difficult punctures, such as skin color, weigth and length, age, history of frequent puncturing and certain medications or diseases, will be registered.
