Testing a new non-invasive oxygen monitoring method in heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You are undergoing heart surgery that requires a pulmonary artery catheter (a thin tube placed in a heart vessel to measure how well the heart is pumping)
- You must have an arterial line with FloTrac device placed as part of your routine surgery care (a specialized monitoring device in an artery)
- You must have at least 3 blood samples taken at specific times during and after surgery
- You cannot be planned for or already using mechanical heart support devices like IABP, Impella, or ECMO
- You must not have opted out of research participation

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 trial tests whether a goal-focused monitoring approach can help optimize oxygen levels in the blood during children’s heart surgery using a heart-lung machine. It may help clinicians adjust care more precisely during surgery.
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 is testing a device that checks blood oxygen levels in children having heart surgery or catheterization. The goal is to see if it works well for kids, which could lead to a non-invasive way to monitor blood health.
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.
This trial tests a non-invasive method to measure oxygen levels in your blood using your breath, avoiding the need for a tube in your heart. It's for adults who are on a breathing machine and whose doctors recommend a pulmonary artery catheter for monitoring.
