•The population studied will be all patients 18 years of age or older who are undergoing cardiac or thoracic surgery and are deemed to require an arterial line for clinical indications by the treating medical / surgical team. All patients undergoing cardiac surgery, as well as open thoracotomy, routinely have arterial lines placed for continuous blood pressure monitoring and frequent blood gas analysis. All patients will be non-identifiable, although demographic data on each patient (e.g. height, weight, BMI, age, sex, procedure, blood pressure at time of insertion, presence of arrhythmia) will be collected to allow analysis of possible differences between the study groups.

•Patients with previous attempts at arterial cannulation during the same hospital visit as well as unstable patients in whom the arterial line has to be placed prior to study randomization will be excluded.
