New pulse monitor could sharpen fluid decisions in major surgery
NCT ID NCT04871620
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a new pulse contour device can accurately detect increases in stroke volume during a fluid challenge in patients undergoing high-risk abdominal surgery. Researchers will compare the device's readings to those from transthoracic echocardiography. The goal is to improve how doctors manage fluids during surgery to keep the heart pumping effectively.
