Hemodynamic monitoring

Doctors in the ICU need to know if a patient needs more fluids, and they often use ultrasound to check a large belly vein called the inferior vena cava. But that view can be hard to get. This study tests whether measuring a vein in the neck, the right internal jugular vein, works…

This trial tests a new device called ResQ that listens to heart and lung sounds through a soft probe in the esophagus to predict if a patient needs more fluids during surgery. Researchers will compare its accuracy to the standard method using an arterial line. The study involves …

This study watches 40 adults having shoulder surgery while sitting up (beach chair position). Researchers want to see if a special headband that measures brain oxygen levels gives extra safety information beyond standard heart and blood pressure monitors. The goal is to learn how…

This study looks at whether a special heart monitor used during pancreatic surgery can help predict if patients will have elevated troponin levels afterward—a sign of possible heart damage. It involves adults aged 45 or older (or 65+ with certain health conditions) undergoing a p…

This study looked at whether using continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring during surgery could reduce the risk of organ failure after surgery, compared to standard intermittent monitoring. Over 1,200 adults having non-cardiac surgery took part. The main focus was on pr…
