NCT ID NCT07385092
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares continuous vital sign monitoring to standard nurse spot-checks for patients recovering from non-cardiac surgery on regular hospital wards. Researchers want to see if constant monitoring reduces the time patients spend with abnormal vital signs in the first 48 hours. About 264 adults aged 45 and older will take part.
