Monitoring device for heart and liver transplant surgery
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- A pulmonary artery catheter must be planned for your surgery.
- You must be scheduled for heart or liver transplant surgery that lasts more than 2 hours.
- If you are in the heart group, you must have a certain heart rhythm and no signs of heart failure or infection.
- If you are in the brain injury risk group, you must be 45 or older and have risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, or a history of stroke.

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 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.
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 trial tests a device that checks how well blood flows in tiny vessels during your liver transplant surgery. It may help doctors better understand your body's response during the operation.
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.
This study checks how safe a small heart-pressure monitoring device is for people with advanced heart failure and severe kidney problems. It looks at whether doctors can continuously track heart filling/pressure to help manage symptoms and reduce risks.
