Testing a modified way to place ECG stickers during surgery
This study tests a different way to place the sticky pads (electrodes) used to monitor your heart during surgery. It aims to see if the new placement is as accurate as the standard one for detecting heart rhythm changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 65 years old.
- You are scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia (you will be asleep for the surgery).
- Your surgery will be on your belly, head, face, or legs (not on your chest or back).
- You may have a normal or an abnormal heart tracing on your pre-surgery ECG (heart test).
- You do not have a pacemaker or a history of heart or lung surgery.
- You agree to take part in the study.

This study collects heart and brain signal information before and during anesthesia for people having cardiovascular surgery or procedures. The goal is to better understand risk and outcomes, and to improve how anesthesia is assessed.
This study is testing a new, simpler ECG device (with only 4 sticky patches) against the standard 10-patch ECG. It's for people with heart conditions who are either in the hospital or visiting a cardiologist, and aims to see if the new device is easier to use and still gives a clear reading.
This study tests a new handheld ECG device at two Dutch hospitals. It records your heart's electrical activity, but you hold it instead of using sticky patches, to see if it's just as good for checking heart problems.
This study tests a small heart monitor placed under the scalp during brain surgery to see if it can safely track heart rhythms. It may help doctors monitor patients more closely after surgery.
This trial looks at how to manage and check implanted heart devices (pacemakers/defibrillators) during and around a planned procedure. It may help teams improve safety and decision-making during surgery or catheter procedures.
This trial is testing a new algorithm that uses a simple, one-lead ECG (heart tracing) to measure how fast electrical signals travel through the heart. Researchers want to see if the algorithm works well in people whose heart intervals are slightly outside the normal range, which may help doctors better monitor heart conditions.
