Catheterization

This prospective controlled clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness and safety of radial artery cannulation using the Seldinger technique under ultrasound guidance when performed by two different operator groups: experienced physicians and trained registered nurses. The study aims to determine whether a structured, competency-based training program enables nurses without prior experience in arterial cannulation to achieve comparable outcomes to physicians in terms of first-attempt success rate, procedural efficiency, and complication rates.
