Blood pressure monitoring in young children during heart surgery
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between birth and 3 years old
- Child is scheduled for heart surgery using a heart-lung machine
- Child will have a small tube in the wrist artery to monitor blood pressure
- Surgery is not an emergency and child has not had a previous surgery during the same hospital stay

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 study tests whether a special heart monitor can help doctors track blood flow in babies having surgery to repair aortic coarctation (a narrowing of the main artery). The monitor may help guide treatment to keep the baby stable during and after surgery.
This study checks whether a non-invasive blood pressure device can measure blood pressure accurately in ICU patients right after cardiac surgery. It compares the new device to standard invasive monitoring through an arterial line or catheter.
This trial checks whether blood pressure readings from a standard arm cuff are as accurate as readings from an arterial line (a small tube in an artery) during lung surgery with one lung collapsed. If the cuff is reliable, patients may need fewer invasive monitoring methods in the future.
This study tests a new non-invasive blood pressure device in babies, children, and teens. It compares the device's readings to those from an arterial line, which is already in place for their medical care. The goal is to see if the device can measure blood pressure accurately without needles.
This study measures pressures inside the heart during cardiac surgery to better understand how well the heart is working. It may help doctors improve care for patients having certain heart valve or aorta procedures.
