Which blood pressure monitor is best for heart surgery patients? study aims to find out.
NCT ID NCT06828432
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will enroll 50 adults recovering from open-heart surgery to test three FDA-approved, non-invasive devices (ClearSight, CareTaker, and CNAP) that measure blood pressure and how well the heart pumps blood. The goal is to see which device is most accurate compared to standard invasive monitors. The results could help doctors use safer, non-invasive tools to guide treatment in intensive care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring devices (ClearSight, CareTaker, CNAP)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show which non-invasive monitor is most accurate, potentially reducing the need for riskier invasive monitoring in heart surgery patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage validation study (50 participants) that only tests accuracy, not patient outcomes. The devices may not prove reliable enough to replace current methods.
