U.S., Oct. 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07890779) titled 'Ultrasound-Guided Ulnar Versus Radial Artery Cannulation in Children' on Oct. 16.
Brief Summary: Arterial catheterization provides continuous blood pressure monitoring and repeated blood sampling in children undergoing surgery at high cardiovascular or hemorrhagic risk, and in critically ill children. The radial artery is the conventional site, but cannulation remains challenging in children because of small vessel caliber and frequent anatomical variants. Ultrasound guidance has made alternative sites accessible, and the ulnar artery has a comparable caliber and a depth often closer to the range considered optimal for puncture. Thi...
