We would like to convey our gratitude to the readers for showing interest in our article.[1] We agree that intravenous (i.v.) cannula should not be used for arterial cannulation due to risk of inadvertent arterial injection. We proposed the use of intravenous cannula for arterial cannulation in resource-limited settings which are not uncommon in our country.[2] To avoid accidental intra-arterial injections, drug port should be covered with surgical adhesive tape and labelled as arterial in bold letters [Figure 1]. This is routinely done at our institute to prevent such complications.
