Trial summary

When performing vascular cannulation such as radial artery cannulation, ultrasonography (US) helps proper positioning of the tip of needle in the vascular lumen, which facilitating cannulation of the catheter and successful pressure monitoring. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Trial of Ultrasound-guided Radial Artery Cannulation Using Dynamic Short Axis Versus Conventional Long-axis In-plane View in Cardiac Surgery Patients.

When performing vascular cannulation such as radial artery cannulation, ultrasonography (US) helps proper positioning of the tip of needle in the vascular lumen, which facilitating cannulation of the catheter and successful pressure monitoring. Conventionally, short-axis out-of-plane (SAX) and long-axis in-plane (LAX) views are commonly used method to image the target vessel during cannulation under US guidance. Dynamic needle tip positioning (DNTP) method is newly introduced by one group of investigators who conducted a related study using vascular phantom model.

In DNTP, SAX is used, and additionally, when the needle tip is imaged in the screen as an echogenic point, the practitioner (a) proximally moves the US probe a bit, and then (b) the needle is advanced until the needle tip reappears in the screen. In this manner, the practitioner repeats (a) and (b) until the needle is inserted 1 cm into the lumen of vessel, and then the catheter is inserted to finish the procedure.

DNTP has not been compared to conventional imaging methods. The aim of this trial is to see the effect of DNTP on success rate of the radial artery cannulation at the first attempt, compared to the conventional LAX.

Being tested
Dynamic needle tip positioning under ultrasound-guidance, Conventional long-axis view

What participants receive

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

  • Dynamic needle tip positioning under ultrasound-guidanceProcedure or surgery

    The tip of needle is positioned under ultrasound-guidance using dynamic short-axis view.

  • Conventional long-axis viewProcedure or surgery

    The tip of needle is positioned under ultrasound-guidance using conventional long-axis in-plane view.

What is being measured

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

  1. Success rate of the radial artery cannulation at first attempt

    Successful confirmation of the arterial waveform through a pressure monitor at first attempt of the radial artery cannulation

    Measured: intraoperative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Time between skin puncture to confirmation of the arterial waveform through a pressure monitoring device.

    Measured: During the cannulation procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dynamic needle tip positioning under ultrasound-guidance and Conventional long-axis view in people with Cardiac Surgical Procedures and 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 1 inclusion and 10 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 20 Sep 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?

Success rate of the radial artery cannulation at first attempt (time frame: intraoperative). 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 NCT03405623, 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 20 Sep 2018.
