New device could replace needles for monitoring heart function in COPD ICU patients
NCT ID NCT07208578
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test a non-invasive device called ICON® that measures heart function in COPD patients admitted to the respiratory ICU. Researchers want to see if it is reliable and useful for guiding treatment. The study will enroll 96 adults and track changes in cardiac output during their ICU stay.
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 electrical cardiometry (ICON® device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a safer, easier way to monitor heart function in COPD patients in the ICU, potentially improving care without invasive procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with only 96 participants. It does not test a treatment, so it won't directly change outcomes. The device may not prove reliable enough for routine use.
