NCT ID NCT07385963

First seen Feb 04, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study will test if a non-invasive device called EIT Pulse Wave can accurately measure blood flow to the lungs and heart output in critically ill patients with shock or lung injury. Researchers will compare the new method to the standard Swan-Ganz catheter, which requires a tube inserted into the heart. About 19 adults in the ICU who are on a breathing machine and already have the catheter will be monitored with both devices for up to 48 hours. The goal is to see if the EIT method can safely replace the more invasive catheter.
