Comparison of ultrasound-guided femoral artery cannulation versus palpation technique in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery

CONCLUSIONS: The ultrasound-guided cannulation of the femoral artery in neonates is superior to the palpation technique based on the increased of the number of successful first-attempt cannulation and success rate, and the reducing of the access time, number of attempts, number of cannulas used, and cost of cannulation.PMID:34082593 | DOI:10.1177/11297298211023307
