Monitoring heart function in patients with brain injuries

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the relationship between heart function and outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injuries and nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. It will collect data from the Starling Monitor and patient medical records as part of standard clinical care. Participants will be followed up six months after hospital discharge to assess the impact of hemodynamic monitoring on recovery. The study does not involve any clinical interventions and relies on non-invasive monitoring techniques.
