About this study

The investigators are trying to compare the ultrasound-guided technique vs. palpation method for radial arterial cannulation in infants.

Read the detailed description

In infants (<12mo), radial arterial catheterization is sometimes difficult to perform. Moreover, repeated attempts itself would cause the arterial spasm or hematoma. The use of ultrasound as an adjunct to radial arterial cannulation has considered to be the best practice in adults and pediatrics. However, its usefulness or superiority for neonates and infants is not known. Therefore, we would compare ultrasound guided radial arterial cannulation with the usual palpation methods in infants undergoing cardiac surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • Radial arterial cannulationProcedure or surgery

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Palpation groupActive comparatorThe operator will use the pulsation of the radial artery as a guide for the cannulation.
Receives: Procedure: Radial arterial cannulation
Ultrasound groupExperimentalThe ultrasound guided technique will be used to find a radial artery and insert a radial arterial catheter.
Receives: Procedure: Radial arterial cannulation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Radial arterial cannulation in people with Catheterization, Peripheral, run by Samsung Medical Center 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 1 inclusion and 4 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 26 Apr 2018. 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?

First-pass success rate (time frame: Within 10 min from the start time of arterial cannulation using an angiocath). 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 NCT02795468, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 26 Apr 2018.
