Comparing arterial line sites for blood pressure during surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares different places to put an arterial line during major abdominal surgery to see how they affect blood pressure monitoring and treatment. Having an arterial line helps the doctor watch your blood pressure closely during the operation, which may improve your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You are having major abdominal surgery with general anesthesia.
- Your surgery is expected to last more than 2 hours.
- You do not have severe blood vessel disease in your arms or a large blood pressure difference between your arms.
- You do not have any reason that an arterial line cannot be placed in your arm, like an arteriovenous fistula or need for sterility in that area.
- You are not allergic to the anesthesia or other medications used in this trial, and you can communicate in English or French.

This study tests whether an AI tool can help doctors better manage low blood pressure during planned surgeries. If you are having an elective surgery with general anesthesia and need an arterial line for monitoring, this trial may be for you.
This study compares blood pressure measurements taken at the ankle versus the arm during planned cesarean delivery. It helps doctors find a reliable way to monitor your blood pressure during surgery when the arm cuff may not work well.
This study compares measuring blood pressure through an arm artery (radial) versus a leg artery (femoral) during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for patients.
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 trial compares two methods of placing a small tube in an artery in the wrist to monitor blood pressure continuously during robotic urologic surgery. The goal is to see which method gives more stable and accurate readings when your arms are tucked at your sides.
This study compares two methods of measuring blood pressure during the start of anesthesia: one using a small tube in an artery (invasive) and one using a standard arm cuff (non-invasive). It aims to see how well they agree in high-risk patients, which may help doctors monitor blood pressure more accurately and safely.
