Femoral artery line placement in children having heart surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how to put a small tube (arterial line) into the leg artery of children having heart surgery. It is meant to help doctors find the best way to do this safely.

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.
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 ways to place a midline catheter (a type of IV line) in children to see which works better. If your child needs long-term IV access during or after surgery, this study may help find the safest and most effective method.
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 looks at how blood pressure readings from the arm compare to readings from the aorta during heart surgery with a heart-lung machine in children up to 3 years old. It aims to improve blood pressure monitoring during and after surgery.
This study is testing a special tube (cannula) placed in the groin artery during heart surgery to connect a heart-lung machine. It's for people who are scheduled for planned heart surgery and may be helped by this refined device.
