  • Title: Clinical experience using a small-gauge needle for arterial puncture.
    Author: Sabin S, Taylor JR, Kaplan AI.
    Journal: Chest; 1976 Mar; 69(3):437-9. PubMed ID: 971621.
    Abstract:
    The present study was undertaken to ascertain the feasibility of using a 25-gauge needle for arterial punctures. A total of 11,500 arterial punctures were performed over the past four years by this technique without any major complication. Repeated arterial punctures were well tolerated by all patients, and the necessity for indwelling arterial catheters was almost totally eliminated during this period of study.
