New sensor for children having heart catheter procedures
This study tests an investigational medical device (the UltraTrac) worn on the skin while children undergo a routine heart catheterization. The device aims to improve monitoring during the procedure and may help guide care more safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be between birth and 21 years old
- Be scheduled for a heart catheterization at Children's National Hospital
- Weigh at least 2.5 kilograms (about 5.5 pounds)
- Be medically stable enough to take part, as judged by the doctor
- Have healthy skin where the sensors will be placed
- Parent or guardian permission (and child's agreement) required

This study tests a new non-invasive device called UltraTrac that measures how well the heart pumps blood in people with congenital heart disease. It will be used during standard heart procedures or intensive care stays to see if it works as well as current methods.
This study tests a device called UltraTrac that checks your heart and lung health without needles or invasive procedures. It may help doctors better monitor conditions like heart failure or asthma in the future.
This study is testing a new, non-invasive way to measure hemoglobin (the part of blood that carries oxygen) using a light sensor on the skin, without needing extra blood draws. The goal is to see if this sensor is accurate for children having heart procedures, which could reduce the number of needle sticks they need.
This trial tests a new device that measures heart function without needing an invasive catheter. It aims to see if the device works as well as the standard right heart catheterization procedure.
This study tests whether wearing a small monitor during your hospital stay helps doctors catch problems earlier than standard care alone. If you are in the hospital for heart or blood vessel issues, this device could help your care team keep a closer eye on you.
This trial tests wearable smart sensors that continuously track vital signs in children in the hospital (especially the ICU). It may help doctors watch changes sooner and learn how well the sensors work on children during care.
