About this study

Official title: The Effect of Using Smart Glasses Integrated Ultrasonography on the Success of the Procedure and Comfort of the Anesthesiologist in Radial Artery Catheterization

The use of Ultrasonography (USG) in arterial catheterization, in which the comfort of the practitioner and hand-eye coordination become very important, is frequently needed by anesthesiologists in their daily practice. The aim of this study is to evaluate the success rate and anesthesiologist's satisfaction between two practitioners with different levels of experience in radial artery catheterization with smart glasses USG.

Read the detailed description

The arterial catheterizations were usually performed by anesthesiologists in operation rooms and intensive care units for many reasons such as blood pressure monitoring and gas sampling. The choice of radial artery is because of its anatomic advantages. However some patients related features can cause difficulties in catheterization. The use of ultrasounography (USG) guidance raises the rate of success and decreases the complications. Coordination skills between hand, eye, procedure area and screen are essential for the USG-guided catheterization. Smarth glasses, project the USG image in real-time directly in front of the practitioner's eyes and thus allows the practitioner to simultaneously view the screen and the procedure area. The primer aim of this study is to evaluate the success rate and anesthesiologist's satisfaction between two practitioners with different levels of experience in radial artery catheterization with smart glasses USG. The secondary aims are to evaluate the cannulation time and complications between groups.

120 patients >18 years who would be undergone elective elective surgery with an indication for radial artery catheterization between August 2022 and December 2022 were included to the prospective, randomised, single centre study. Patients underwent radial artery catheterization for any reason in the last one month, and with contraindications for catheterization were excluded. Patients were divided randomly into two groups (Group I: patients underwent radial artery catheterization using standart USG, and Group II: patients underwent radial artery catheterization using smart glasses integrated UGG). The catheterization was performed by two anesthetists with different experience. The subcutaneous distance, radial artery depth and diameter in short axis, cannulation time and ergonomic satisfaction of the practitioners were recorded. The program SPSS 11.5 was used to analyze data.

What participants receive

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

  • Radial artery catheterization with USGOther

    Radial artery catheterization with USG The catheterization was performed by two anesthesiologist with different experience (Junior practitoner who has the experience of 20-50, and the senior practitioner who has the experience of >50 radial artery catheterizations). The side to be catheterized was determined by modifie Allen test which was first performed on the nondominant hand. After general anesthesia induction, a 45° angle was given to wirst of selected side with a support. After skin asepsis, radial artery was vizualized 2 centimeter (cm) above the wrist in short axis with the high-frequency linear USG probe. The radial artery puncture was performed while step by step monitoring the needle tip in short axis out-of-plane technique. Following the puncture, radial artery catheterized with a 3 French 8 cm catheter.

  • Radial artery catheterization with smart glasses integrated UGGOther

    The catheterization was performed by two anesthesiologist with different experience (Junior practitoner who has the experience of 20-50, and the senior practitioner who has the experience of >50 radial artery catheterizations). Before the study, as practitioners had no previous experience with smart glasses, they performed 5 catheterizations with smart glasses integrated USG on model. The side to be catheterized was determined by modifie Allen test which was first performed on the nondominant hand. After general anesthesia induction, a 45° angle was given to wirst of selected side with a support. After skin asepsis, radial artery was vizualized 2 centimeter (cm) above the wrist in short axis with smart glasses integrated high-frequency linear USG probe. The radial artery puncture was performed while step by step monitoring the needle tip in short axis out-of-plane technique. Following the puncture, radial artery catheterized with a 3 French 8 cm catheter.

What is being measured

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

  1. The success rate

    After the catheterization, when the artery waveform was on monitor, the catheterization was considered successful.

    Measured: At the end of the radial artery catheterization

  2. The anesthesiologist's satisfaction

    The ergonomic satisfaction of the practitioner was evaluated on a 5-point Likert scale (1: Very dissatisfied, 2: Dissatisfied, 3: Undecided, 4: Satisfied, 5: Very satisfied).

    Measured: At the end of the radial artery catheterization

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The cannulation time

    The time between puncture and the seen of artery waveform seen was recorded as cannulation time

    Measured: At the end of the radial artery catheterization

  2. Complications

    After catheterization, the radial artery was re-imaged with USG in terms of complications.

    Measured: At the end of the radial artery catheterization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Radial artery catheterization with USG and Radial artery catheterization with smart glasses integrated UGG in people with Catheterization and Cannulation, run by Ankara University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 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 21 Feb 2024. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

The success rate (time frame: At the end of the radial artery catheterization). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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?
