Brief summary: The use of Ultrasonography (USG) in arterial catheterization, in which the comfort of the practitioner and hand-eye coordination become very important, is frequently needed by anesthesiologists in their daily practice. The aim of this study is to evaluate the success rate and anesthesiologist's satisfaction between two practitioners with different levels of experience in radial artery catheterization with smart glasses USG.

Detailed description: The arterial catheterizations were usually performed by anesthesiologists in operation rooms and intensive care units for many reasons such as blood pressure monitoring and gas sampling. The choice of radial artery is because of its anatomic advantages. However some patients related features can cause difficulties in catheterization. The use of ultrasounography (USG) guidance raises the rate of success and decreases the complications. Coordination skills between hand, eye, procedure area and screen are essential for the USG-guided catheterization. Smarth glasses, project the USG image in real-time directly in front of the practitioner's eyes and thus allows the practitioner to simultaneously view the screen and the procedure area. The primer aim of this study is to evaluate the success rate and anesthesiologist's satisfaction between two practitioners with different levels of experience in radial artery catheterization with smart glasses USG. The secondary aims are to evaluate the cannulation time and complications between groups.

120 patients \>18 years who would be undergone elective elective surgery with an indication for radial artery catheterization between August 2022 and December 2022 were included to the prospective, randomised, single centre study. Patients underwent radial artery catheterization for any reason in the last one month, and with contraindications for catheterization were excluded. Patients were divided randomly into two groups (Group I: patients underwent radial artery catheterization using standart USG, and Group II: patients underwent radial artery catheterization using smart glasses integrated UGG). The catheterization was performed by two anesthetists with different experience. The subcutaneous distance, radial artery depth and diameter in short axis, cannulation time and ergonomic satisfaction of the practitioners were recorded. The program SPSS 11.5 was used to analyze data.
