Summary

This study tests a new, non-invasive sensor that measures lactate levels through the skin, compared to standard blood tests. Twenty adults undergoing elective heart bypass or valve surgery will wear the sensor for up to 14 hours after surgery. The goal is to see if the sensor works well enough to reduce the need for frequent blood draws and improve patient comfort.
