NCT ID NCT06602336
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a wearable device that continuously measures lactate levels in the fluid just under the skin. Researchers want to see if it matches standard blood tests in patients recovering from heart bypass or valve surgery. If it works, the device could make recovery more comfortable by reducing the need for frequent blood draws.

What this could lead to
If successful, this device could reduce the need for frequent blood draws during surgery recovery and help doctors quickly assess patients in emergency rooms.
