Laser tool for wrist artery access in children
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 24 months old or younger.
- Your child is having a major surgery that requires a small tube in the wrist artery to check blood pressure.
- You agree to the study and will sign a consent form.
- Your child's health status is classified as ASA I to IV (generally stable to moderately ill).
- Your child has not had a wrist artery needle stick in the last month.
- Your child does not have any wrist artery problems, heart defects, or severe shock.

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 looks at the sizes of two arteries in the wrist (the radial and ulnar arteries) in young children during surgery. It will help doctors understand normal sizes, which may improve how they place small tubes in arteries for monitoring during and after surgery.
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.
This trial tests whether a new wrist access point (the distal radial artery) along with specific drug treatments (CAG and PCI) is safe and effective for people with small blood vessels in the heart. It aims to offer an alternative that may reduce bleeding or damage risks.
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.
