Implication

Systematic review and meta-analysis compare the safety and effectiveness of distal versus conventional radial artery cannulation, suggesting fewer complications with distal approach.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate and compare the safety and effectiveness of distal radial artery cannulation versus conventional radial artery catheterization for blood pressure monitoring.
Systematic review of randomized controlled trials published until December 30, 2025.
Search conducted in multiple databases like PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library; data extracted by two independent reviewers.
Meta-analyses performed using Review Manager 5.4 and Stata 18.0, assessing quality with the GRADE system.
DRA associated with lower incidence of haematoma (RR = 0.42, 95% CI: 0.24–0.73), catheter blockage (RR = 0.33, 95% CI: 0.14–0.81), and bleeding (RR = 0.25, 95% CI: 0.11–0.59).
DRA had a longer catheter insertion time (MD = 26.89, 95% CI: 5.28–48.50).
Higher first-attempt success rate in patients aged ≤ 65 years (RR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.02–1.28).
