Blood'up Device Versus Manual Palpation for Arterial Puncture in Healthy Volunteers: A Pilot Randomized Study Under Normal and Simulated Hypotension
Arterial puncture is a common procedure in the management of hospitalized patients. It is most often performed at the level of the radial artery and allows arterial blood gas analysis.
The success rate of arterial puncture varies widely in the literature. This procedure is moderately painful and may cause significant discomfort, particularly in cases of repeated attempts. First-attempt success is therefore important to reduce both pain and the risk of local complications associated with multiple punctures.
In routine practice, arterial puncture is performed using manual palpation of the radial artery, typically by a trained nurse. In case of failure, a physician may attempt the procedure, often using ultrasound guidance. However, ultrasound is not routinely used and requires specific training and organizational protocols for nurse use.
In hypotensive conditions, such as shock, the radial pulse may become difficult to palpate, making arterial puncture more challenging when using conventional techniques.
The Blood'up device (Arterya, Hérouville, France) is a non-invasive device currently under development that assists in arterial localization. It is applied to the wrist and projects a light signal indicating the position of the artery. This localization is based on ultrasound technology using piezoelectric sensors integrated into the device.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Blood'up device for radial artery localization in healthy volunteers, both under physiological conditions (normal blood pressure) and under simulated hypotensive conditions.

Comparador Ativo: Arterial puncture using manual palpation
The traditional method for performing radial arterial puncture by manual palpation is as follows:
|
Each healthy volunteer will undergo arterial blood gas sampling on both wrists using each randomized technique (manual palpation versus the Blood'Up device).
Only for the second cohort with simulated hypotension, which will include 16 healthy volunteers: Hypotension will be simulated by extrinsic compression using a blood pressure cuff adapted to the volunteer's arm circumference. The (manual) blood pressure cuff will be inflated and maintained to achieve a mean arterial pressure of 60 mmHg (with hypotension defined as a mean arterial pressure below 65 mmHg). Blood pressure will be measured using a non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring device (ClearSight®, Edwards Lifesciences, Mississauga, Canada). |
|
Experimental: Arterial puncture using Blood'Up device
Blood'Up is a portable, reusable, non-sterile Class I medical device that uses ultrasound to detect the radial artery beneath the skin.
It projects two puncture points connected by a line onto the skin surface directly above the artery.
Unlike ultrasound-guided or palpation-based techniques, the device allows the healthcare professional to keep both hands free, enabling the puncture to be performed under optimal conditions.

Success rate of radial arterial puncture performed with and without the Blood'Up device in healthy volunteers with no cardiovascular history
Prazo: 5 minutes
|
Success is defined as successful puncture of the radial artery with confirmation of the arterial nature of the sample by blood gas analysis. Only one puncture (defined as a single skin puncture) will be performed on each wrist. If the needle is withdrawn without obtaining blood return, this will be considered a failed arterial puncture. Similarly, the absence of blood return within one minute after skin puncture will also be considered a failure. |

|
Procedure time: from device placement to blood return in the syringe when using the Blood'Up device; and from the start of palpation to blood return in the syringe for manual palpation.
Prazo: 30 minutes
|
Procedure time is defined as the time from the start of device placement to the onset of blood return in the arterial syringe (expected volume: 1 mL). For the Blood'Up device, the start is defined as the moment the device is placed on the volunteer's skin. For manual palpation, the start of palpation defines the start of the procedure. In both cases (Blood'Up and manual palpation), the maximum allowed procedure time is 1 minute. Similarly, the absence of blood return within one minute after skin puncture will be considered a failure. |

Pain with and without the Blood'Up device
Prazo: 30 minutes
|
Pain will be assessed immediately after each puncture by asking the participant to rate the maximum pain experienced during the procedure using a visual analog scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).
|
30 minutes

|
Number of needle redirections with and without the Blood'Up device.
Prazo: 30 minutes
|
Number of needle redirections during each puncture, defined as any change in needle angulation (self-reported by the nurse performing the procedure).
A puncture is defined as a single skin breach by the needle; as long as the needle is not completely withdrawn from the skin, all manipulations are considered part of the same puncture, regardless of the number of redirections.

Complications related to arterial puncture occurring within 5 minutes after the procedure: hematoma at the puncture site, suspected nerve injury (paresthesia), or vasovagal response (pallor, sweating, bradycardia, syncope).
