About this study

Evaluation for the range of smallest leg angulation with femoral artery and vein overlap with femoral central catheterization in pediatrics.

Read the detailed description

In pediatrics, femoral vein catheterization often overlaps with the femoral artery.

In this case, the risk of artery puncture is high, vein collapse when artery puncture 2nd, 3rd times exceeds the success rate of catheterization becomes low. In previous study, comparing 0, 30, and 60 degrees with frog leg position, there was a study that the overlap was the smallest at 60 degrees. A previous study was a simple frog leg position and a study in fragmented predetermined angles. On a continuous measurement, we planned the study under the assumption that there is a more definite range of optimal angulation.

Ultrasound probe in the state of Inguinal crease, we find a part without bifurcation of femoral artery and femoral vein in frog leg position(external rotation + flexion increase). Increase the leg angle and check the vein and arterie relations.

What participants receive

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

  • A groupOther

    The optimal range of leg abduction was defined as the range without overlap in A group and the range presenting that the overlap was less-than half of the diameter of femoral vein in S group.

    A1 angle defined the point that the femoral vein and artery started non-overlapping interval when increasing the angle of the leg in the A group and the A2 angle is defined the point that the femoral vein and artery ended non-overlapping interval.

  • S groupOther

    B1 is the angle at which the overlap starts at the half of the femoral vein radius when increasing the angle of the leg in the S group, B2 is the angle at which overlap starts at half or more of the femoral vein radius again. In the range of B1 and B2 angles, they are overlapped by half or less of the femoral vein radius.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
A groupBased on the presence of non-overlapping range between femoral artery and vein from the initial observation, the patients were divided into following two groups. A group is the patients with non-overlapping range
Receives: Other: A group
S groupS group is the patients without non-overlapping range
Receives: Other: S group

What is being measured

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

  1. A range of angles in which arteries and veins do not overlap

    The optimal range of leg abduction was defined as the range without overlap in A group and the range presenting that the overlap was less-than half of the diameter of femoral vein in S group.

    Measured: Intraoperative ( after anesthesia induction)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pediatric Disorder and Femoral Artery Injury, 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 19 Jul 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?

A range of angles in which arteries and veins do not overlap (time frame: Intraoperative ( after anesthesia induction)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 19 Jul 2018.
