Researchers are testing whether a wearable monitoring device called the Basler Band can catch dangerous heart rhythm problems and vital sign changes that normal hospital monitoring might miss during and after surgery. This study aims to help doctors better understand why some high-risk patients develop heart injuries after non-heart surgery, so they can prevent or treat these complications earlier.
Heart complications after surgery are a leading cause of death, but doctors don't always know what triggers them because vital signs aren't always recorded carefully once patients leave the operating room. By using continuous monitoring, researchers hope to identify the underlying causes so they can provide better, more targeted treatment.

If you qualify, you would wear a continuous monitoring device (the Basler Band) before, during, and after your surgery to track your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels throughout the entire perioperative period. The study would follow you through your hospital stay and recovery, with the device recording data that doctors will analyze to understand any heart complications that may develop. Your participation helps researchers identify what causes these complications so they can improve care for future patients.
