Filter by:The distal transradial approach (dTRA) via the anatomical snuffbox is hypothesized to be more beneficial than the conventional transradial access (cTRA) in patients undergoing coronary procedures. This prospective single-center randomized trial was designed to investigate the safety, efficacy, and various ultrasound parameters of dTRA.
This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of ulnar artery cannulation compared to radial artery cannulation in pediatrics undergoing major non cardiac procedures.
By observing the changes of Central venous-arterial partial pressure difference of carbon dioxide [P (v-a) CO2] in liquid resuscitation during early escharectomy in patients with large-scale burns, We investigate the effect of P (v-a) CO2 on postoperative tissue perfusion and oxygenation in order to seek a more effective intergrated target plan of liquid resuscitation for burn patients.
Radial access is recommended as the standard approach for coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) based on the evidence in which RA reduced mortality and bleeding events compared with femoral access. Recently, the use of distal radial artery (DRA) is rapidly increasing in accordance with the publication of several studies that have shown easy hemostasis, reduced bleeding complications and low arterial occlusion rate via distal radial approach. However, the diameter of DRA is relatively smaller than radial artery (RA) which can limit the widespread use of this access route. Regarding the size discrepancy, there is a lack of evidence to guide which patients are acceptable or not for CAG and PCI. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to provide the reference diameter of DRA using ultrasonography in Korean patients. The clinical predictors for small DRA also were evaluated.
The left distal radial approach (DRA) has been introduced as a feasible and safe alternative route of the radial artery. However, there is still lack of evidence for DRA regarding the feasibility, safety, effective time for hemostasis and hemostasis method. This prospective multicenter registry aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of DRA for CAG and PCI.
In this prospective, randomized, open-labeled study, the intensive care patients will be selected for ultrasound-guided cannulation of the radial artery in three different regions. Patients will be divided into three groups with simple randomization. The first group will be determined as 'G1' and the radial artery catheterization with ultrasound-guided short axis out of plane intervention will be performed over 2 cm of the wrist for this group. On the second group (G2), radial artery catheterization will be performed in the distal 3/4 area of the forearm with ultrasound-guided short axis out of plane intervention. On the third group (G3), radial arterial catheterization will be performed in the distal 1/2 area of the forearm with ultrasound-guided short axis out of plane interference. Whether there is a difference in the duration of use of arterial cannula, first entry success rates, duration of intervention, number of procedures, the number of cannulas used and the effects on early and late complications and advantages between the groups will be investigated.
After performing a radial angiography/percutaneous coronary intervention (CAG/PCI), the sheath is removed and a compression device is used to achieve hemostasis. Recent studies have indicated that rapid deflation techniques resulting in early removal of the compression device is associated with a low incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO). The purpose of the present study is to evaluate whether an even faster removal of the compression device can be achieved if using oximetry guided rapid deflation compared to traditional rapid deflation, and whether this is associated with a lower incidence of RAO.
The purpose of this study is to collect data about the efficacy of utilizing distal topical heat application for dilatation of the radial artery. Transradial arterial access is widely accepted as the standard of care for cardiac catheterization procedures due to its increased patient comfort and significantly decreased risk of major vascular complications, and has been recently utilized in increasing volume by the interventional radiology community throughout the world. Due to the small size of the radial artery, catheterization may sometimes be technically difficult. Pre-procedure dilatation can make catheterization significantly easier, and studies have demonstrated the successful ability to dilate the radial artery with the use of topical nitroglycerin and lidocaine. However, the investigators hypothesize that utilizing topical heat applied distally can create a physiologic vasodilatation similar to that created with nitroglycerin and lidocaine, but at a significantly lower cost and with less risk due to no need for application of a medication which has a systemic effect with known side effects. The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of radial artery vasodilatation with distal topical heat application.
Previous studies have demonstrated that an experienced ultrasound operator is able to efficiently perform radial arterial puncture on patients where an initial operator failed to puncture arteries via simple palpation. The objective of this study is to compare "difficult-to-puncture" patients randomized into two groups: one group where ultrasound is used to aid artery localisation, and one group where only palpation is used.
The investigators aim to determine if ultrasound guidance results in improved technique when drawing blood via a radial artery puncture.
