First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 43 times
Summary
This study will test whether continuously monitoring vital signs like oxygen levels and heart rate after major surgery can reduce complications compared to standard intermittent checks. About 492 adults having non-cardiac surgery will be randomly assigned to either have their data visible to doctors or hidden. The goal is to see if real-time alerts lead to quicker interventions and better outcomes.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Continuous vital sign monitoring device (Masimo Radius PPG)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that continuous monitoring helps catch problems earlier and reduce serious complications after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial focused on monitoring, not a treatment. The benefits may be modest, and the device could cause false alarms or be impractical on busy wards.
As listed by the trial registrant
The condition terms exactly as the trial's registrant entered them.
