Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Educational Problems, Catheterization, Education Nursing, Simulation Based Medical Education

In brief

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.
