Ulnar and Radial Artery Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of Ultrasonographic Measurements of Radial and Ulnar Arteries in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery
Ultrasound measurements of the ulnar artery and radial artery at different angles are obtained and compared to determine the optimal diameters for possible arterial cannulation in pediatric patients.
Radial artery cannulation is the most commonly used technique for invasive arterial catheterization in pediatric patients. Ultrasound guidance has significantly reduced cannulation success rates and complication risks. The ulnar artery presents an anatomical alternative to the radial artery and has emerged as a potential cannulation site. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the suitability of the radial or ulnar artery for cannulation in pediatric patients. Finding of this study objectives are To obtain a large sample of pediatric patients from different age groups To measure arterial diameters using ultrasound at different angles and with ultrasound and to assess the optimal artery and the angle. ;
