Article Synopsis
- Ultrasound guidance (USG) for arterial line placement was tested against traditional blind palpation (TBP) to see which method was more efficient for residents.
- A total of 412 patients were involved in the study, with results showing that USG was significantly faster, needing less time (171 seconds) compared to TBP (243 seconds).
- The USG method also required fewer attempts (1.78 vs. 2.48) and had a higher success rate (96% vs. 90%) for the residents performing the procedures.
The novel allele, DQB1*05:19, differs from the closest matching allele, DQB1*05:02:01, by one nucleotide substitution.
