Testing oxygen monitoring for heart surgery patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks whether a new non-invasive measurement of oxygen delivery is accurate in patients having heart surgery. Participating may help improve monitoring during and after surgery, without extra procedures beyond what is already part of your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for heart surgery
- Your care will include both a pulmonary artery catheter (a tube to monitor heart function) and an arterial line (a small tube to monitor blood pressure)
- You will not have a heart-assist device (such as a balloon pump, Impella, or ECMO) during surgery
- You have not opted out of research

This study tests whether using a special monitor in the heart (pulmonary artery catheter) during surgery helps doctors care for patients better. It is for adults having heart or major chest surgery, but does not include very high-risk emergency cases.
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 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 way to measure oxygen levels in your blood without using extra tubes or invasive techniques. It aims to make monitoring safer and more comfortable for patients on a breathing machine.
This study compares how much oxygen is needed and how well oxygen levels stay in a safe range after heart surgery in the ICU. It also tests whether using different oxygen monitors affects oxygen flow and oxygenation.
This study tests a special sensor (near-infrared spectroscopy) that checks blood flow to the heart and other organs during heart surgery. It may help doctors monitor and improve care for children having complex heart procedures.
