Evaluating Hand Arteries in Children Using Ultrasound

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the suitability of the ulnar and radial arteries for cannulation in pediatric patients by measuring their diameters using ultrasound at various angles. It aims to compare these measurements to determine the optimal artery for invasive arterial catheterization. The study includes a diverse sample of pediatric patients scheduled for elective surgical procedures, focusing on improving cannulation success rates and reducing complications. The findings could provide valuable insights into the best practices for arterial access in children.
