NCT ID NCT06133140
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed trial tested whether using a continuous vital sign monitor (GE Portrait) with nursing alerts could reduce dangerous changes in oxygen, breathing, and heart rate after major noncardiac surgery. 227 adults were monitored either openly or with the data hidden. The goal was to see if real-time alerts lead to fewer complications.
