Ultrasound-guided radial artery catheterisation increases the success rate among anaesthesiology residents: a randomised study.

This study favours the ultrasound-guided DNTP technique as the first choice rather than merely being viewed as a rescue procedure. PMID: 28604990 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
