AB Arterial  cannulation  with  continuous  pressure  transduction  allows  for  moment-to-moment  monitoring  of  blood  pressure  changes.  In  addition,  it  permits  detection  of  intraoperative  hypotension  earlier  than  indirect  monitoring  techniques  and  provides  reliable  vascular  access  for  blood  sampling.  Invasive  arterial  blood  pressure  monitoring  allows  pressure  monitoring  in  situations  when  noninvasive  blood  pressure  monitoring  is  not  possible,  such  as  during  nonpulsatile  cardiopulmonary  bypass.  Invasive  monitoring  also  allows  for  the  analysis  of  arterial  pressure  waveforms,  which  can  be  utilized  to  better  understand  clinical  scenarios.  However,  invasive  monitoring  is  not  without  its  disadvantages:  it  requires  technical  expertise;  it  is  costly;  and  it  has  the  potential  for  serious  complications  when  compared  to  noninvasive  techniques.
