Allen’s Test & Arterial Lines
No Class I evidence
No randomized data for meta-analysis
No standard definition of abnormal
Significance of abnormal is unclear
No predictive value
…performance of an Allen test before radial artery cannulation
should not be considered a “standard of care”.
CONCLUSION
Visuals unlimited
icg 2016
Transradial Allen’s Test
Built on assumption of predictability
Refined with oximetry
Touted as a ritual at many courses
Labeled standard of care without data
Not used by many long standing operators
Ischemic complications remain rare & not related

Practice Recommendations
There is no evidence to support utility to Testing for Dual
Circulation for pre-procedural triage for transradial
catheterization to prevent ischemic complications.
We need to refocus our attention on the use of oximetry-
plethysmography & other techniques to guide patent
hemostasis once the transradial procedure is completed to
minimize radial artery occlusion.
Bertrand OF, Carey PC, Gilchrist IC. Allen or no Allen: that is the question!

  • 6. J Trauma. 2006;61:468–470. Allen’s Test & Arterial Lines No Class I evidence No randomized data for meta-analysis No standard definition of abnormal Significance of abnormal is unclear No predictive value …performance of an Allen test before radial artery cannulation should not be considered a “standard of care”. CONCLUSION Visuals unlimited icg 2016
  • 7. Transradial Allen’s Test Built on assumption of predictability Refined with oximetry Touted as a ritual at many courses Labeled standard of care without data Not used by many long standing operators Ischemic complications remain rare & not related icg 2016

  • 12. Risk, Benefits & Alternatives icg 2016
  • 13. Practice Recommendations There is no evidence to support utility to Testing for Dual Circulation for pre-procedural triage for transradial catheterization to prevent ischemic complications. We need to refocus our attention on the use of oximetry- plethysmography & other techniques to guide patent hemostasis once the transradial procedure is completed to minimize radial artery occlusion.
