Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The proportion of patients who only needs one puncture attempt in order to successfully extract enough blood to make an arterial blood gas analysis		up to 1 hour after arterial puncture	No
Secondary	Time used for arterial puncture		up to 1 hour after arterial puncture	No
Secondary	Patient corporation	Patient corporation is subjectively estimated by the physician performing the arterial puncture. The degree of patient corporation are assessed on a scale from 1 - 5, where 1 is very poor patient corporation and 5 is perfect patient corporation.	up to 1 hour after arterial puncture	No
Secondary	Pain Scores on the Visual Analog Scale		Up to 1 hour after arterial puncture	No
Secondary	Number of attempts before successfully acquiring arterial puncture		up to 1 hour after arterial puncture	No
