Heart monitoring in COPD patients in the ICU
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special heart monitor that uses electricity to check blood flow without needles. It aims to help doctors better track patients with COPD who are in the intensive care unit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You are admitted to the ICU because of COPD or trouble breathing from COPD.
- You are willing to allow the study team to use a simple monitor on your chest.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have any skin problems, burns, or injuries on your chest where the monitor pads would go.
- You do not have seizures that are not controlled or need an electric shock treatment for your heart.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether monitoring heart and breathing signals can help predict how well COPD patients on a breathing machine will recover. It aims to find better ways to guide treatment and improve outcomes.
This trial looks at how the heart and lungs work together during a severe COPD flare-up that requires hospital care. It may help doctors find better ways to treat breathing problems in the ICU.
This study tests a new, less invasive method using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to monitor blood flow in the lungs compared to the standard pulmonary artery catheter. It might help doctors manage your care with fewer risks.
This trial tests a new way to measure how much blood your heart pumps using a simple ultrasound from under your ribs. It may help doctors monitor your condition without more invasive tests.
This trial tests a bedside breathing and lung-monitoring method that uses small electrodes on the chest. It is meant for people with moderate to severe ARDS (a serious lung inflammation problem) who are on a breathing machine, to help guide care.
This study tests whether a wearable ECG monitor (a small device that records your heart's electrical signals) can help doctors diagnose reduced blood flow to the heart muscle in people who might have coronary artery disease. If you join, you will wear the monitor during a routine heart test to see if it can detect problems as well as standard methods.
