A new device aims to track the heart's pumping power in the ICU — without invasive tubes

NCT ID NCT07724262

First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether the Argos system, a non-invasive monitor, can reliably measure changes in cardiac output (how much blood the heart pumps) in critically ill patients with shock. Researchers will compare its readings to those from a standard invasive device during fluid infusions or medication adjustments. If accurate, the Argos system could offer a simpler way to guide treatment in the intensive care unit.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If the Argos system proves reliable, it could offer a less invasive way to monitor heart function in intensive care patients.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. The device may not match the accuracy of existing methods, and results may not apply to all patients.
