Comparing heart measurements in cardiac surgery patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares three ways to measure how well your heart pumps blood after cardiac surgery. It uses a standard catheter and two newer monitors to see which is most accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have recently had heart surgery
- You have a pulmonary artery catheter placed for monitoring
- You are in stable condition (not critically unstable)
- You are able to give consent

This study tests a new way to monitor your heart and blood flow during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see if this integrated approach helps doctors make better decisions during the operation.
This study tests a new non-invasive device called UltraTrac that measures how well the heart pumps blood in people with congenital heart disease. It will be used during standard heart procedures or intensive care stays to see if it works as well as current methods.
This study compares two ways to measure how well your heart is pumping blood. It looks at a new method that uses pressure readings from the catheter already in your heart, versus the standard method your doctor already uses. If you are in intensive care with a Swan-Ganz catheter, this study may help improve heart monitoring without extra procedures.
This trial compares a neck ultrasound test (carotid Doppler) with a heart monitoring method (thermodilution) to see if they give consistent blood-flow readings. It may help clinicians measure circulation more reliably in people having heart surgery.
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 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.
