Could a simple surgery monitor predict who will survive?
NCT ID NCT07164339
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study analyzes data from 425,000 adults who had non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia. Researchers want to see if a measure called the perfusion index, which reflects blood flow in the fingers, is linked to the risk of dying after surgery. The goal is to find out if this simple monitoring tool can help predict serious outcomes like death or ICU admission.
