Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Arterial Catheterization
Interventions
Procedure: posterior tibial artery
Procedure: radial artery
Procedure: dorsalis pedis artery
Registration Number
NCT02912481
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

Arterial catheterization in small children is challenging, even for experienced anesthesiologists. For successful arterial catheterization, the arterial diameter, cross-sectional area, and depth from the skin surface are important considerations, especially in pediatric patients. THe investigators examined the posterior tibial artery (PTA) and dorsalis pedis artery (DPA) using ultrasound (US) to find a reasonable alternative arterial cannulation site to the radial artery (RA) in pediatric patients.
