Warming for artery catheter in children under 2
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if warming the skin before placing an artery line helps children having heart surgery. It may make the procedure easier and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 2 years old or younger.
- Your child is scheduled for heart surgery that needs an artery line.
- Your child's vital signs are stable (not in a medical emergency).
- Your child does not already have an artery line in place, except for an umbilical artery line sometimes used in newborns.

This study is testing a device that checks blood oxygen levels in children having heart surgery or catheterization. The goal is to see if it works well for kids, which could lead to a non-invasive way to monitor blood health.
This study tests whether cooling the skin on your wrist before a routine arterial line placement (a small tube in your wrist artery) can reduce the pain of the procedure. If you are having surgery and need an arterial line, this might help make the experience more comfortable.
This study looks at how children prepare for heart surgery or a heart catheterization. It will ask families to fill out questionnaires to help improve preoperative care.
This study tests a new laser-guided tool to help doctors place a small tube in the wrist artery of babies and young children during surgery. It aims to make the procedure faster and safer for your child.
This trial compares two cooling temperatures during an “aortic hemiarch” operation to see which approach is safer and better for brain protection. It may help guide surgeons on the best cooling strategy for some planned heart surgeries.
This trial tests if watching an animated educational video before a scheduled heart catheterization can reduce anxiety and prevent complications. It is designed for children ages 6 to 12 who are having this procedure for the first time.
