Brief Summary

This study aims to compare the time difference between radial arterial line placement and use of the EndoPhys sheath, as well as, assess the cost effectiveness of the EnoPhys sheath vs. use of a radial arterial line based on device and operating room costs.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total CostPatient time in operating room (approximately 2 hours)

Total cost of each approach, as defined by the sum of material (device) costs plus the value of operative room time per minute.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Difference in preparation time between the two approachesFrom onset of anesthesia to successful insertion of the catheter (approximately 30 minutes)
Associated anticipated costs of complications between the two groups.Patient time in operating room (approximately 2 hours)
Patient satisfaction as assessed by post-operative questionnaireQuestionnaire is assessed post-operatively at one day and at the 2-4 week follow up (approximately 5 minutes to assess)
Anesthesiologist satisfaction as assessed by post-operative questionnaireQuestionnaire is assessed post-operatively in the operating room (approximately 5 minutes to assess)
Technical success of EndoPhys sheath for blood pressure measurement and accuracy as compared to the radial arterial line.Upon EndoPhys sheath insertion until it is removed from the femoral artery (approximately 1.5 hours)
Sensitivity analysis to evaluated variation in times for arterial line placementFrom onset of anesthesia to successful insertion of the catheter (approximately 30 minutes)
Sensitivity analysis to evaluated variable operating room time costsPatient time in operating room (approximately 2 hours)
Complication rates between the two groups.Patient time in operating room (approximately 2 hours)
