Laser tool for wrist artery access in children
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 trial tests which technique works better for placing a small tube in the wrist artery for monitoring during heart surgery. It compares the standard method to one using ultrasound guidance to find the best approach for patients with difficult wrist arteries.
This study compares two ways to place a small tube in your arm artery during robot-assisted urologic surgery. It aims to see if a different location in your wrist keeps your blood pressure readings more stable.
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 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.
This trial compares two sizes of small tubes (called sheaths) used during a heart procedure to open blocked arteries. The procedure is done through a tiny artery in your wrist, and the goal is to see if a smaller tube works just as well with fewer side effects.
