About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether the Hemorai Vysio wearable device can be used safely and feasibly to track relative changes over time in tissue oxygen, hemoglobin-related signals, blood flow, and oxygen use during and after inpatient surgery. The device does not provide absolute clinical measurements. The investigators will also explore whether changes recorded by the device occur around signs or treatments related to blood loss.
The main questions are:
* Can the device collect usable information during and after surgery without interfering with routine care? * What device-related problems, such as skin irritation or discomfort, occur? * Do changes in the device measurements occur around changes in blood pressure, laboratory results, fluid administration, or blood transfusion? * How comfortable and practical is the device for participants and bedside nurses?
Participants undergoing surgery will wear the device on the upper arm or chest. Trained study staff will apply the device before surgery. The device will remain in place for up to 48 hours after surgery, or until discharge or earlier removal. Participants will continue to receive usual hospital monitoring and care.
Bedside nurses may also join the study and complete a short voluntary survey. Nurses may check the device position and adjust the strap for comfort. Nurses will not interpret the device measurements or use the measurements to make treatment decisions.
Hemorai Vysio is an investigational device. The device measurements will be analyzed for research and will not be used to guide participants' medical care. Participants are not expected to receive a direct medical benefit from taking part.

Treatments tested in this trial
Wearable optical hemodynamic monitoring device
DeviceAn investigational, non-FDA-approved strap-based wearable optical device placed on the upper arm or chest by trained study staff. The device records intermittent 2-minute optical signal windows every 15 minutes during surgery and for up to 48 hours postoperatively. Research outputs include relative trends in local tissue oxygenation (StO2), hemoglobin-related signals, perfusion index (SFI), and tissue oxygen consumption (tMRO2). The device operates in parallel with standard-of-care monitoring; data are analyzed offline and are not used for clinical decisions.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Percentage of scheduled Vysio recording windows containing signal data
For each patient participant, the number of scheduled 2-minute Vysio recording windows containing recorded signal data will be divided by the number of scheduled windows during device wear and multiplied by 100. The percentage will be summarized descriptively across participants as a measure of device-data completeness.
Other outcomes
Descriptive Relative Tissue Oxygenation (StO2) Trajectory by Hemorrhage-Protocol Activation Status
Relative local tissue oxygenation (StO2) trajectories recorded by Vysio will be summarized descriptively for surgical participants with a Lahey clinical-team-defined hemorrhage-protocol activation during device wear and those without an activation (routine postoperative recovery group). Values will also be time-aligned with documented hypotension, transfusion, fluid administration, and serial hemoglobin and hematocrit results. Pearson or Spearman correlations may be calculated where appropriate. Analyses are exploratory and will not estimate diagnostic performance.
Descriptive Vysio Hemoglobin-Related Signal Trajectory by Hemorrhage-Protocol Activation Status
Relative hemoglobin-related signal trajectories recorded by Vysio will be summarized descriptively for surgical participants with a Lahey clinical-team-defined hemorrhage-protocol activation during device wear and those without an activation (routine postoperative recovery group). These device-derived relative trends are not systemic hemoglobin concentrations. Values will be time-aligned with documented hypotension, transfusion, fluid administration, and serial laboratory hemoglobin and hematocrit results. Pearson or Spearman correlations may be calculated where appropriate. Analyses are exploratory and will not estimate diagnostic performance.
Descriptive Vysio Perfusion Index (SFI) Trajectory by Hemorrhage-Protocol Activation Status
Relative perfusion index (SFI) trajectories recorded by Vysio will be summarized descriptively for surgical participants with a Lahey clinical-team-defined hemorrhage-protocol activation during device wear and those without an activation (routine postoperative recovery group). SFI is a relative device-derived perfusion trend and not an absolute tissue perfusion measurement. Values will be time-aligned with documented hypotension, transfusion, fluid administration, and serial hemoglobin and hematocrit results. Pearson or Spearman correlations may be calculated where appropriate. Analyses are exploratory and will not estimate diagnostic performance.
Descriptive Vysio Tissue Oxygen Consumption (tMRO2) Trajectory by Hemorrhage-Protocol Activation Status
Relative tissue oxygen consumption (tMRO2) trajectories recorded by Vysio will be summarized descriptively for surgical participants with a Lahey clinical-team-defined hemorrhage-protocol activation during device wear and those without an activation (routine postoperative recovery group). tMRO2 is a relative device-derived trend and not an absolute calibrated metabolic rate. Values will be time-aligned with documented hypotension, transfusion, fluid administration, and serial hemoglobin and hematocrit results. Pearson or Spearman correlations may be calculated where appropriate. Analyses are exploratory and will not estimate diagnostic performance.
