Highlights

Ultrasound-guided radial artery catheterization can effectively improve the success rate of first-time puncture and reduce the total puncture time and the incidence of complications.

Ultrasound-guided radial artery catheterization methods should be selected based on the specific characteristics of individual patients.

Abstract

A higher success rate in ultrasound-guided radial artery catheterization has been demonstrated by numerous studies when comparing to traditional puncture catheterization, because it significantly shortens the overall puncture time and reduces the incidence of related complications. This review summarizes the methods, influencing factors, related complications and clinical application of ultrasound-guided radial artery catheterization in the perioperative period.

Keywords: Ultrasound-guided radial artery puncture, catheterization, complications, influencing factors, research progress
