Cold and pressure methods for removing wrist lines after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests three different ways to remove a small tube from your wrist after heart surgery. It compares using an ice bag, a special band, or air pressure to see which method works best and is most comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a tube placed in your wrist (radial artery) during heart surgery.
- You can speak and understand Arabic.
- You have not taken pain medicine for at least 3 hours before the tube is removed.
- You are alert and can see and hear well enough to communicate.

This study compares two methods of placing a small tube (arterial line) in your wrist or arm to monitor blood pressure during heart surgery. Both methods use ultrasound to guide the tube, and the study aims to see which technique works better when the artery is hard to access.
This study compares two ways of using ultrasound to guide the placement of a small tube in the wrist artery (radial arterial line) for close blood pressure monitoring during surgery. It helps doctors find the best method to place the tube safely and with fewer complications.
This study compares hand function after heart tests or treatments done through a small tube in the wrist. It aims to see if using a more distant wrist point helps protect hand movement.
This trial compares a new pressure-sensing sheath that monitors blood pressure during wrist-artery procedures to the traditional method. It aims to see if the new device works just as well or better, and is for patients who are already scheduled for a planned (not emergency) procedure needing continuous blood pressure monitoring.
This study looks at how blood flow stops (bleeding control) at two different points in the wrist artery during a simulated procedure. It may help improve how bleeding is managed after heart catheterization.
This study tests two ways to control bleeding after a heart/blood-vessel procedure done through the wrist (or elbow) artery. It may help make the procedure safer and improve how well the artery is managed during healing.
