U.S., Sept. 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07846644) titled 'Evaluating a Fingerprint System to Improve Patient Identification in Cardiac Surgery' on Sept. 16.
Brief Summary: The purpose of this prospective observational pilot study is to evaluate the usability, workflow integration, and operational feasibility of a fingerprint-based patient identification system (the Heuristik system) within perioperative cardiac surgery care. Accurate patient identification is a critical component of safe surgical care, particularly in high-acuity environments such as cardiac surgery where patients may be sedated or unable to actively confirm their identity. This study evaluates whether biometric fingerpri...
