NCT ID NCT07558694
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This observational study will use ultrasound to measure the size of two arteries in the arms of 100 children undergoing surgery. The goal is to see if the dominant hand has larger arteries than the non-dominant hand. The findings could help guide medical procedures like placing IV lines or drawing blood.
