title: Intra-arterial pressure monitoring. An alternative technique using winged needles.
abstract: The use of 21 gauge winged needles for direct arterial pressure monitoring is described. The results obtained with this technique compare favourably with those obtained from direct cannulation of major vessels. The use of winged needles sometimes makes arterial cannulatiin possible when other, more conventional, methods may fail.
