Why the study?
Heart rate monitoring via unobtrusive wrist-worn optical monitors could enable earlier recognition of patient deterioration, but agreement with gold-standard ECG monitoring needed perioperative validation.
Does a wrist-worn optical heart rate monitor accurately measure heart rate compared to a 5-lead ECG in patients undergoing surgery?
Population
99 patients undergoing surgery requiring anesthesia

Wrist-worn PPG may offer acceptable perioperative HR agreement; leaves open prospective validation before routine adoption.
Does a wrist-worn optical heart rate monitor accurately measure heart rate compared to a 5-lead ECG in patients undergoing surgery?
A wrist-worn optical heart rate monitor can measure heart rate within clinically acceptable limits compared to a 5-lead ECG in the perioperative setting.
