Measure
Ethyl Chloride
Ethyl choride will be administrated before arterial puncture. Ethyl chloride: Nurses will administrate ethyl chloride vapocoolant spray on patient's skin a few seconds before arterial puncture.
Control
Alcohol -based spray as placebo will be administrated before arterial puncture. Alcohol: Nurses will use an alcohol-based spray as placebo on patient's skin a few seconds before arterial puncture.
