New monitor could make heart surgery safer by tracking oxygen without needles
NCT ID NCT07573306
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether a noninvasive device can accurately measure how much oxygen is being delivered to the body during heart surgery. Researchers will compare readings from the new monitor to those from standard invasive catheters in 150 adult patients. If the new method works well, it could reduce the need for invasive monitoring and improve patient care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a less invasive way to monitor oxygen delivery during heart surgery, improving patient comfort and safety.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study, so the monitor may not prove accurate enough. It only includes 150 patients, and results may not apply to all heart surgery cases.
