Intermittent practice for learning ultrasound-guided wrist artery catheterization
This trial tests a new way of teaching residents how to place a small tube in the wrist artery using ultrasound. It compares interrupted practice sessions with continuous practice to see which helps doctors learn better and helps patients more.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a resident doctor in training, not yet experienced with this specific procedure
- You have not already performed more than 5 of these procedures on your own
- You have good hand-eye coordination and learning ability
- You can commit to completing the full training and follow-up
- As a patient, you are at least 18 years old and need this procedure for monitoring or blood tests
- Your doctor checks that you have a good pulse in the wrist and adequate blood flow (Allen test)
- No serious bleeding risk, infections, or abnormal vessels at the puncture site

This study tests a new way to teach residents how to do nerve blocks using ultrasound instead of practicing on patients. It might help you learn these skills in a safe, no-risk environment.
This trial compares whether nurses or doctors are better at placing a small tube into the artery at the wrist, which is used to monitor blood pressure during surgery. It tests if nurses can do this as safely and effectively as doctors.
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 ways of accessing the heart's blood vessels through the wrist artery during a heart imaging procedure. Researchers will test whether using ultrasound to guide the needle improves the success and safety of the procedure.
