ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different techniques for inserting a thin tube (called an arterial cannula) into an artery, which is important for monitoring blood pressure during certain surgeries. The two methods being compared are the Dynamic Needle Tip Positioning Modification Technique in Short Axis Approach (DNTP - SA) and the Long Axis Approach (LA). Researchers want to find out which method allows for quicker and more successful placement of the cannula, how many tries it takes, any complications, and how satisfied the medical staff is with each technique.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 70 years old and scheduled for a planned surgery that requires monitoring your blood pressure through an arterial line. You should be in good enough health according to specific medical guidelines. However, if you are in an emergency situation, have certain infections, or have had recent procedures on the same artery, you would not be eligible. If you choose to participate, you can expect to help researchers understand which method is more effective, potentially improving care for future patients.
