Continuous perioperative heart rate variability monitoring in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy—a pilot study

J Clin Monit ComputPublished Pilot study

Authors' conclusion

This is the first detailed study to show that HRV measures of total variability were reduced following ERAS VATS lobectomy, while other measures were more stable.

Study context

Population
Patients undergoing enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy
Participants
28 patients
Outcome
Perioperative HRV
Follow-up
2 days before until 9 days after VATS lobectomy
Methodological detailscontinuous perioperative heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring
  • Continuous perioperative HRV monitoring

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Median LOS

4 days

Safety

Tolerability of the patch

Patch well tolerated; proper mounting of the device needs attention
