What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers are testing a soft, wearable ultrasound patch that sticks to the chest and continuously images the heart in adults and children with severe heart conditions in intensive care. The study compares heart function measurements from the patch with results from standard bedside echocardiography to see how closely the two methods agree. The team also checks whether an automated analysis tool can measure heart function accurately from the patch's images, and whether the device can help guide minimally invasive procedures to close heart defects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A soft, wearable ultrasound patch that continuously images the heart and analyzes heart function automatically
What this could lead to
If it works, continuous hands-free heart monitoring could let ICU teams track heart function without repeated bedside ultrasound exams, and could help guide minimally invasive heart procedures.
What could go wrong
The patch may not match standard ultrasound closely enough, especially in sick patients who move or have difficult imaging windows. This is a validation study, so it cannot yet show whether the device improves patient outcomes.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 600 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Sep 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Mar 2029

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

A government agency

The lead sponsor is a government body.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients with perioperative cardiopulmonary critical illness admitted to the adult ICU or CCU at Fuwai Hospital, including patients with coronary artery disease or valvular heart disease after cardiac surgery, and patients undergoing interventional procedures for structural heart disease. * Pediatric patients with perioperative cardiopulmonary critical illness admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) at Fuwai Hospital, including patients with congenital heart disease after cardiac surgery. Exclusion Criteria: * Severe wound infection or delayed thoracic closure that prevents placement of the wearable cardiac ultrasound monitoring device. * Patient or family refusal to participate in the study.
