Checking wrist artery sizes in young children during surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child will be having surgery and will need general anesthesia (they will be asleep during the procedure).
- Your child is in good health or only has mild health issues (ASA 1-3).
- Your child does not have known problems with their blood vessels.
- Your child has never had a tube placed in the artery in their wrist before.
- Your child has no history of significant injury or birth defects affecting the arm or hand, or conditions that affect blood vessel growth.

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 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 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.
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 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.
