title: A modified technique for ultrasound-guided cannulation of radial and brachial arteries in patients with circulation collapse.
abstract: We present a modified method for arterial cannulation using ultrasound guidance in patients with collapsed circulation. The method makes use of ultrasonographic landmarks that enable cannulation of both the radial and brachial arteries, even when the pulse is extremely faint.
