Blood pressure monitoring during heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new method to monitor blood pressure during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It is for people at higher risk for stroke or other brain blood vessel issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass).
- You have a high risk for problems with blood vessels in the brain, such as from high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, or smoking.
- You are not pregnant.
- You speak English.
- Your surgery is not for a heart defect you were born with.

This trial tests a device that monitors blood pressure continuously during surgery using a finger cuff, instead of the standard arm cuff that gives readings every few minutes. You may be able to join if you are having surgery and are at higher risk of complications during anesthesia.
This study checks whether a non-invasive blood pressure device can measure blood pressure accurately in ICU patients right after cardiac surgery. It compares the new device to standard invasive monitoring through an arterial line or catheter.
This study tests a noninvasive way to measure blood pressure during planned (elective) heart or brain blood vessel procedures. If you are having one of these elective surgeries and fit the timing needs, you may help compare monitoring methods for safety and accuracy.
This study tests a new device that measures blood pressure continuously without needing a needle in your artery. If you are having surgery and already need an arterial line, this device might offer a less invasive way to track your blood pressure during the procedure.
This study is testing a new monitoring device during heart or liver transplant surgery. It aims to see if the device helps doctors better manage your blood flow and oxygen levels during the operation.
This study looks at how to predict low blood pressure in the recovery room (PACU) after certain major surgeries. It may help the surgical team recognize risk earlier so they can respond sooner to protect you during recovery.
