Long-term Effects of Radial Artery Cannulation on Vessel Diameter, Blood Flow and Fine Motor Skills
Sponsor: Kartal City Hospital
Summary
This observational study examined changes in blood vessel diameter, blood flow, and fine motor performance after ultrasound-guided radial artery cannulation in adults undergoing elective cardiac surgery. Ultrasound measurements of the radial and ulnar arteries and Purdue Pegboard tests of hand performance were obtained before cannulation and during follow-up for three months. Measurements were compared over time within each participant and between the relevant arteries or hands.
