Guided Needle Insertion for Vascular Access

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether the study device can assist the cannulator with placing two needles during cannulation required to initiate dialysis treatment. Males or females with end-stage kidney disease who are 18 and older and not pregnant or breastfeeding can be included in the study. The main question it aims to answer is: Can the study device guide the cannulator to the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) or arteriovenous graft (AVG) and assist the cannulator with needle insertion into the AVF or AVG for dialysis cannulation?

Effect of a Sacral Lift on Femoral Vein Size and Exposure

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a sacral lift can improve femoral vein size and exposure, which may be clinically helpful during femoral vein cannulation among emergency department patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a sacral lift increase femoral vein size compared to no sacral lift in both straight and frog-leg positions? Does a sacral lift improve femoral vein exposure (reduce overlap by the femoral artery) compared to no sacral lift in both straight and frog-leg positions? Researchers will compare femoral vein size and exposure measurements with and without a sacral lift in both straight and frog-leg leg positions to see if the sacral lift improves vein size and reduces artery overlap. Participants will: Undergo femoral vein ultrasound scans. Maintain a straight leg position with and without a sacral lift. Maintain a frog-leg position with and without a sacral lift.

Safety and Performance Evaluation of CPB Venous and Arterial Cannulas

This is a two-phase study evaluating the Eurosets arterial and venous cannulas for use during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedures. Phase 1 is a pilot study focused on assessing cannula safety. Phase 2 is a pivotal study aimed at confirming safety and evaluating efficacy through comparison with Medtronic cannulas (control group). The results will be compared for non-inferiority with those obtained using the control group cannulas.
