Nurse or doctor for artery catheter placement
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a nurse who finished a special training for placing the wrist artery tube.
- You are a certified anesthesiologist (a doctor who gives anesthesia) allowed to place this tube.
- You do not lack the permission to place this tube.

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 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 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 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.
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.
