Caretaker in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU)
NCT05779683 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
To monitor the cardiac post-op patient population with both the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) and the Caretaker monitor, which will seek to validate the Caretaker monitor against continuous CO via the PAC. Up to a third of post-operative cardiac surgery patients develop cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation. Secondary analysis will be performed on the collected data to assess the Caretaker monitor's agreement with the PAC during periods of arrhythmia. Successful completion this study will provide clinical validation of the Caretaker monitor in one of the most hemodynamically challenging patient populations (post-cardiac surgery patients in the ICU), including during arrhythmias. The Caretaker monitor is most beneficial as it is non-invasive, is a minimal risk device, and for this protocol will not be utilized to make treatment decisions for the study subject. This device also does not project energy into the subject.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05779683
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05779683 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 50 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Wake Forest University Health Sciences, which has 1,061 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Cardiac Output appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Caretaker Device placement is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05779683 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include North Carolina. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
