Comparing two ways to place an arm artery line during robotic urologic surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years of age or older
- You are scheduled for robot-assisted urologic surgery under general anesthesia
- Your arms will be positioned alongside your body during surgery
- Your anesthesia team has determined you need an arterial line (a small tube in an artery) to monitor blood pressure continuously
- You can provide written informed consent

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 measuring blood pressure through an arm artery (radial) versus a leg artery (femoral) during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for patients.
This trial compares a new pressure-sensing sheath that monitors blood pressure during wrist-artery procedures to the traditional method. It aims to see if the new device works just as well or better, and is for patients who are already scheduled for a planned (not emergency) procedure needing continuous blood pressure monitoring.
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 different places to put an arterial line during major abdominal surgery to see how they affect blood pressure monitoring and treatment. Having an arterial line helps the doctor watch your blood pressure closely during the operation, which may improve your care.
This trial compares two ways to measure blood pressure during robot-assisted prostate surgery: a cuff on the arm (oscillometric) vs. a tiny tube in an artery (intraarterial). It aims to see if the cuff method is just as reliable, which could make monitoring simpler and less invasive.
