Continuous monitoring after non-cardiac surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares continuous vital sign monitoring with standard spot checks for patients recovering from non-cardiac surgery. It aims to see if constant monitoring can improve safety and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for elective (planned) non-cardiac surgery on your abdomen or chest.

- You do not have atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm).
- You are not pregnant, and you are not having emergency surgery.
- You have not chosen a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order or end-of-life care.

This trial tests if using a home monitoring device after major surgery can help catch problems early. You or your caregiver would take your vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) daily and share them with your care team.
This study compares two ways of monitoring patients after major surgery: continuous monitoring with a non‑invasive device versus the usual periodic checks. It may help find out which method is better at keeping you safe during recovery.
This trial tests if keeping a close watch on vital signs like heart rate and breathing using wearable sensors can help spot problems earlier in people recovering from stomach or bowel surgery. It aims to make the recovery safer and catch any complications sooner.
This study tests a system that constantly watches your vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) after urological surgery, to catch problems early. It's for people who are not expected to need the Intensive Care Unit after their operation.
This trial tests whether a wireless, wearable monitor can safely track your heart rate and other vital signs after complex spinal surgery, reducing the need for frequent nurse checks. If you are having extensive back surgery and stay in the hospital for at least 3 days, you may be eligible.
This study tests a home monitoring system for people who have recently had surgery. You use a smartphone or tablet to send health information, like heart rate or blood pressure, to your care team from home. It may help catch problems early without you having to go back to the hospital.
