Arterial puncture and cannulation, also known as arterial line placement or “a-line,” is commonly performed in the ED to allow for continuous blood pressure measurement and frequent arterial blood gas sampling.
Arterial line or catheterization is a routine procedure in diverse clinical settings, including the intensive care unit, emergency room, and operating room. This involves inserting a catheter into a peripheral artery, enabling hemodynamic monitoring and arterial blood sampling.

A step-by-step guide to arterial line insertion in an OSCE setting including an explanation of the procedure.
Arterial line placement is a cornerstone in managing critically ill patients in the intensive care unit and the operating suites. It provides real-time arterial blood pressure monitoring and facilitates frequent blood gas measurements.
Placement of an arterial line is indicated for continuous monitoring of arterial pressure and direct arterial blood sampling. The radial pulse is palpated between the distal...
Today we cover Arterial line insertion, with a guide made in partnership with a recent publication in Emergency medicine Australasia. Thanks to Clare Armstrong, Ben Butson and Paul Kwa for their expert input. Armstrong C, Butson B, Kwa P. Clinical Procedures: Arterial line insertion. Emergency Medicine Australasia, 2023; 35: 142-7.
Arterial line placement is a common procedure in various critical care and some anesthetic settings. Intra-arterial blood pressure (BP) measurement is more accurate than measurement of BP by...
Intra-arterial catheters (also called arterial cannulas or A-lines) are often inserted for invasive blood pressure (BP) monitoring and intravascular access for blood sampling in high-risk surgical and critically ill patients.
The goal of arterial line placement is to provide a means of monitoring a patient’s blood pressure moment-to-moment and to have access to the arterial blood supply for laboratory analysis.
