This study tested a small, portable device called MARIE that measures carbon dioxide (CO2) in the breath of 40 adults after surgery. The goal was to see if it works as well as standard hospital monitors to detect breathing problems early. Researchers compared MARIE's readings wit…

This study looked at new ways to detect reduced blood flow to the spinal cord after surgery for a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. The goal is to find a test that can be used after surgery, when patients are awake, to catch problems early and prevent paralysis. Researchers teste…

This study looked at how to safely place a port catheter (a small tube for long-term medicine) in children. Doctors compared two methods: one using body landmarks and one using heart signals. They found that the simpler landmark method might work well, but more research is needed…

This study tested a wearable device called viQtor on 180 adults who had just left the intensive care unit (ICU) and moved to regular hospital wards. The device continuously tracks heart rate, breathing rate, oxygen levels, and activity to create an early warning score. The goal w…

This study tested a new wireless device called viQtor that continuously tracks vital signs like heart rate and breathing in 500 patients after surgery. The goal was to see if it helps nurses catch health issues earlier and reduces the time they spend on manual checks. The device …
