Overview
Brief Summary
This trial aims to demonstrate that the Neuralert Monitoring System will detect strokes before they would be identified by current standard of care. Each patient will be monitored for up to five days, depending on device connectivity or battery duration. Each monitoring session will consist of wearing a Neuralert device on each arm. For this pilot trial, we are interested in learning about Wi-Fi connectivity, successful data transmission, integration into clinical workflow, usability and tolerability.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Male or female age ≥ 22 years
- •Admitted or planned admission to one of the participating hospitals and followed by the Cardiothoracic (CT) Surgery or Vascular Surgery services

- •Ascending aorta or aortic arch surgical or endovascular repair
- •Open surgical or endovascular carotid revascularization
- •Ø Other cardiac procedures along with a high-risk medical history:
- •Age ≥ 80 years · Prior stroke/TIA
- •Hypercoagulable state (i.e., prior clotting events attributed to active malignancy or a diagnosed thrombophilia) requiring lifelong anticoagulation
Exclusion Criteria
- •(all must be no)
- •Any medical or psychological conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the subject's safety or successful participation in the study
- •Baseline preoperative asymmetric upper extremity weakness as assessed by the Investigator, defined as a differential in the NIHSS upper extremity motor score between the two arms of \>0
- •Above the wrist amputation
- •Unwilling to provide informed consent or no legally authorized representative willing to provide consent if the patient is unable
- •Currently imprisoned
Outcomes
