Ultrasound of hand arteries in children
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the blood vessels in the hands of children before they have surgery. It helps doctors understand hand blood flow better, which can make procedures safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is healthy enough to be classified as ASA 1 or 2 (a rating the doctor gives based on their overall health).
- Your child is scheduled for a planned (non-emergency) surgery.
- You and your child (if old enough) agree to take part and sign a consent form.
- Your child is 10 years old or younger.

This trial tests which technique works better for placing a small tube in the wrist artery for monitoring during heart surgery. It compares the standard method to one using ultrasound guidance to find the best approach for patients with difficult wrist arteries.
This research examines whether the two main arteries in children's forearms (radial and ulnar arteries) are different sizes. Understanding these differences may help doctors place medical tubes more safely during surgery.
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 study compares two ways to place a small tube in your arm artery during robot-assisted urologic surgery. It aims to see if a different location in your wrist keeps your blood pressure readings more stable.
This trial compares hand function after two ways to access the wrist artery for heart tests or treatments. It may help people who need a coronary procedure understand if a newer access site is better for their hand health.
This trial looks at using the ulnar artery in the wrist instead of the radial artery for heart catheterization or stent placement, when the radial artery on that side is blocked. It may be an option for people who cannot use the other arm's radial artery.
