This study is looking at whether continuous monitoring of vital signs (like breathing and heart rate) after major non-heart surgery can help doctors catch problems earlier. You would be randomly assigned to one of two groups: either your vital signs are continuously monitored but not immediately visible to your care team (blinded continuous vital sign monitoring), or they are continuously monitored and visible to your care team (unblinded continuous vital sign monitoring). Researchers want to see if continuous monitoring helps reduce abnormal vital sign changes within 48 hours after surgery. To join, you must be at least 18 years old, having major non-heart surgery lasting at least 1.5 hours, and expected to stay in the hospital for at least two nights after surgery. The study status is currently unclear.

Study design

This is an interventional study that will randomize about 492 participants to either blinded or unblinded continuous vital sign monitoring.
