Continuous vs intermittent monitoring after surgery
This study compares two ways of monitoring patients after major surgery: continuous monitoring with a non‑invasive device versus the usual periodic checks. It may help find out which method is better at keeping you safe during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are staying in a ward that uses special monitors that check your pulse and oxygen without wires.

This trial tests if using a home monitoring device after major surgery can help catch problems early. You or your caregiver would take your vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) daily and share them with your care team.
This study tests whether a monitoring device called MultiSense® can safely track your recovery at home after certain types of surgery. The goal is to see if this device helps doctors keep an eye on you without frequent hospital visits.
This trial compares continuous vital sign monitoring with standard spot checks for patients recovering from non-cardiac surgery. It aims to see if constant monitoring can improve safety and outcomes.
This study tests a system that constantly watches your vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) after urological surgery, to catch problems early. It's for people who are not expected to need the Intensive Care Unit after their operation.
This study tests whether special monitors used during major abdominal surgery can help high-risk patients wake up sooner and need a breathing tube for less time after the operation.
This study is testing a new monitoring system that keeps track of your vital signs (like heart rate and breathing) while you are in the hospital. The goal is to see if the system works well and is easy to use, which could make monitoring more comfortable and continuous for patients like you.
