Ultrasonography
 Procedure: Artery puncture with ultrasound guidance
Procedure: Artery puncture without ultrasound guidance

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Prevention
Official Title: Ultrasound Guidance for Radial Arterial Blood Sampling

Further study details as provided by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Is only one puncture attempt necessary to attain the radial artery? yes/no [ Time Frame: maximum two hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • The number of puncture attempts required to attain the radial artery [ Time Frame: maximum two hous ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Visual Analog Scale score for pain felt by the patient (0.0 to 10.0) [ Time Frame: Maximum two hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Visual Analog Scale score for patient satisfaction (0.0 to 10.0) [ Time Frame: Maximum two hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Visual Analog Scale score for health professional satisfaction (0.0 to 10.) [ Time Frame: Maximum two hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Presence / absence of a hematoma at the site of puncture [ Time Frame: two hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Presence / absence of other complications [ Time Frame: Two hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: With ultrasound guidance
In this group of patients, ultrasound guidance will be used when drawing blood from the radial artery.
 Procedure: Artery puncture with ultrasound guidance
Ultrasound device will be used to locate artery for puncture.
Active Comparator: Without ultrasound guidance
In this group of patients, no ultrasound guidance will be used when drawing blood from the radial artery.
 Procedure: Artery puncture without ultrasound guidance
Blood drawn from radial artery according to conventional procedure, without ultrasound guidance.
