  "abstract": "Background: Assessing collateral circulation before radial artery puncture iscrucial. Modified Allen’s Test (MAT) and Barbeau test (BT) are non-invasivemodalities used to evaluate palmar arch circulation. Aim: compare modifiedAllen's test versus Barbeau test for estimating of hands’ collateral circulationbefore radial artery puncture for mechanically ventilated patients. Design: Aquasi-experimental research design was used. Setting: This study was conductedat Surgical Intensive Care Units of Emergency Tanta University Hospital andTanta International Teaching hospital. Subjects: A convenience sampling of 400adult mechanically ventilated patients was selected. Tools of the study: Threetools were used: Tool I: mechanically ventilated patients’ assessment, Tool II:Assessment of collateral circulation parameters, and Tool III: radial arterypuncture related complications assessment. Results: showed high rates ofpositive results indicating adequate collateral circulation (68.0% for MAT and77.0% for BT). Although, there was no significant difference (p=0.154).However, BT demonstrated consistently stronger associations with peripheralcirculation parameters, hemodynamic stability, and skin assessment.Conclusion: Barbeau Test showed greater sensitivity with peripheral circulationparameters, hemodynamic stability, and skin assessment indicators compared tothe Modified Allen’s Test. Recommendations: Barbeau Test provides moresensitive and objective assessment than Modified Allen’s Test before radial arterypuncture and replication of the study on large probability sampling.",
