New finger sensor may predict lung risks after bypass surgery better than standard breathing tests
NCT ID NCT07063277
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a new, non-invasive finger sensor (Oxygen Reserve Index, or ORI) can predict breathing complications after coronary artery bypass surgery better than standard spirometry. Researchers measured ORI and spirometry in 142 adults before surgery and tracked lung problems like collapsed lung, pneumonia, or prolonged ventilator use for 48 hours after. The goal is to find a more accurate way to identify high-risk patients and improve their 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 ORI proves more accurate than spirometry, it could become a standard, non-invasive tool to predict breathing complications after heart bypass surgery, helping doctors take preventive steps.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with 142 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. ORI is still experimental for this use, and its real-world benefit over existing tests is unproven.
