Device study for heart surgery patients in the heart intensive care unit
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device that measures heart function closely after heart surgery. It may help doctors give better care if you are in the heart intensive care unit after your operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You had heart surgery and are now in the heart intensive care unit (CTICU)
- You may or may not have a pulmonary artery catheter (a thin tube in a blood vessel near your heart)
- Your breastbone is closed after surgery and you do not have certain heart pumps like LVAD, ECMO, or Impella
- You are still breathing with a ventilator when you leave the operating room (not already breathing on your own)
- You do not have ongoing atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) that is hard to treat or frequent extra beats

This trial tests a new device that measures heart function without needing an invasive catheter. It aims to see if the device works as well as the standard right heart catheterization procedure.
This trial tests a new device called the VentriCure that helps the heart pump blood. It is for people with severe coronary artery disease and a weak heart who cannot have bypass surgery or choose not to.
This study tests a new device that tracks your vital signs (like heart rate and oxygen levels) continuously after surgery, even when you go home. It may help doctors catch problems early and improve your recovery.
This study tests a new non-invasive way to monitor how well oxygen is being delivered to your body during and after heart surgery. Researchers will compare this new monitoring method with standard devices that are already being used during your surgery.
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 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.
