Enhanced Vitals Monitoring After Major Surgery Trial (NCT06584825)
The Impact of Enhanced Postoperative Vitals Monitoring In-hospital and at Home vs. Standard Care After Inpatient Abdominal and Vascular Surgery: A Pilot Two-centre Randomized Controlled Study
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The aim of this clinical trial is to examine the feasibility of an enhanced vital sign monitoring solution in-hospital and at-home. This study includes adult patients undergoing inpatient major vascular or abdominal surgery. Researchers will compare the enhanced vitals monitoring group to the standard of care group to see if it may change post-operative management and outcomes. The primary question it aims to answer is if enhanced monitoring of surgical patient vitals can increase the number of days at home alive in the first 30 days after surgery. Participants in the intervention group will test two vitals monitoring devices, one in the hospital and one at home. They will also be asked to complete several questionnaires and a follow up phone call.
