About this study

Official title: Comparison of Long-axis/In-plane and Short-axis/Out-of-plane Methods During the Ultrasound-guided Arterial Cannulation in Pediatric Patients

Investigators designed a prospective randomized controlled study to compare the long-axis/in-plane and short-axis/out-of-plane methods during the ultrasound-guided arterial catheterization in pediatric patients younger than 5 years old.

Being tested
Long-axis/in-plane US-guided arterial catheterization, Short-axis/out-of-plane US-guided arterial catheterization

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Long-axis/in-plane US-guided arterial catheterizationOther

    Cannulate the radial artery or posterior tibial artery of an infant of a preschool child putting the 24 gauge needle parallel to the ultrasound transducer.

  • Short-axis/out-of-plane US-guided arterial catheterizationOther

    Cannulate the radial artery or posterior tibial artery of an infant or a preschool child putting the 24 gauge needle perpendicular to the ultrasound transducer.

Study groups in NCT02333786
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
InfantExperimentalRadial artery or posterior tibial artery of patients younger than 1 year old are either cannulated with short-axis/out-of-plane or long-axis/in-plane US-guided arterial catheterization technique.
Receives: Other: Long-axis/in-plane US-guided arterial catheterization; Other: Short-axis/out-of-plane US-guided arterial catheterization
Preschool childExperimentalRadial artery or posterior tibial artery of patients older than 1 year old and younger than 5 years old are either cannulated with long-axis/in-plane or short-axis/out-of-plane US-guided arterial catheterization technique.
Receives: Other: Long-axis/in-plane US-guided arterial catheterization; Other: Short-axis/out-of-plane US-guided arterial catheterization

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Arterial catheterization time

    Measured: Interval between contact of the ultrasound transducer with the skin and confirmation of an arterial waveform on the monitor, an expected average of 200 seconds

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Ultrasound imaging time

    Measured: Interval between contact of the ultrasound transducer with the skin and penetration of the needle through the skin, an expected average of 30 seconds

  2. Time to first puncture of the artery

    Measured: Interval between skin penetration of the needle and flashback of blood, an expected average of 100 seconds

  3. Number of puncture attempts

    Measured: Up to 5 times, an expected average observation time of 600 seconds

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Long-axis/in-plane US-guided arterial catheterization and Short-axis/out-of-plane US-guided arterial catheterization in people with Ultrasound and Arterial Catheterization, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Arterial catheterization time (time frame: Interval between contact of the ultrasound transducer with the skin and confirmation of an arterial waveform on the monitor, an expected average of 200 seconds). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02333786, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Oct 2015.
