Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Comparison of Ultrasound guided versus Palpatory method of posterior tibial artery cannulation  After induction of general anesthesia, all aseptic precautions will be taken and a 20G arterial cannula will be used to percutaneously puncture the PTA either by the palpation technique in the groove between the medial malleolus and tendon of Achilles or by the USG- guided technique using a linear probe transducer and real time visualization of artery. 
Comparator Agent  Palpatory Method  Catheter over needle technique will be performed in which after making position of lower limb as described above, under strict aseptic precaution the posterior tibial artery will be palpated with nondominant hand finger in groove between medial malleolus and tendon of Achilles. At the point of maximum arterial pulsation, arterial cannula will be inserted at 45 degrees and after confirmation of backflow of arterial flash stylet will be slightly removed, angle of cannula decreases and catheter will be slide over stylet to complete cannulation 
Comparator Agent  USG guided Technique  After making limb position (ankle dorsiflexion up to 90 degrees and eversion of the foot), the ultrasound linear probe (12 MHz of GE-logiq, GE health care) footprint will be covered with conduction gel, covered in sterile cover and placed where arterial pulsations were most prominent near the groove between the medial malleolus and tendo Achilles. After viewing the artery in cross section, the transducer will be rotated 90°, keeping the image in the center of the ultrasound screen to identify the artery in its long axis. When the artery appeared as a tubular anechoic structure, a 20-G needle will be inserted with bevel-up orientation at about 30 to 45° to the skin and parallel to the transducer directly under the center of the transducer. The needle and artery will both visualized entirely within the plane of ultrasound imaging. After confirming the needle tip within the lumen and the arterial blood flashback in the needle hub, the angle of the needle will be lowered and gently advanced slightly more distally under ultrasound guidance. After arterial blood flashback, the stylet will be slightly removed and the arterial catheter will be advanced further for complete cannulation. Diameter of artery will be measured both pre and post procedure in horizontal section

Brief Summary   Intra-arterial cannulation, a frequently used method for continuous beat to beat blood pressure monitoring, assessing fluid response, arterial blood gas analysis and frequent blood sampling in the intraoperative period in major surgeries as well as in the intensive care unit.Posterior tibial artery has larger diameter and has extensive collateral circulation. It has been shown that cannulation of posterior tibial artery is comparable to radial artery cannulation and even better than the dorsalis pedis artery cannulation.Hypothesis:We hypothesize that ultrasound guided posterior artery cannulation will be better than conventional Palpatory technique with respect to first attempt success rates and decreasing the number of attempts.

Aim:Our aim is to compare Palpatory versus ultrasound guided posterior tibial artery cannulation with respect to first attempt success rates and decreasing the number of attempts.

Objective:To compare the success rate of ultrasound guided versus conventional Palpatory method of posterior tibial artery cannulation for first time successful cannulation.

Material and Methods: A Prospective, randomized controlled study

Sample size and Statistics: 120 patients in each groups.
