Post surgical (non-cardiac) PACU patients with anticipated overnight stay. for Complications

Recruiting1 award5 criteria
Baltimore, Maryland

Investigators will enroll 320 patients who will undergo non-cardiac surgery, receive supplemental oxygen via face mask, and will be on a continuous pulse oximetry monitor in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). The enrollment criteria were adapted from a previous study that showed SpO2 values seriously underestimated the severity of post-operative hypoxemia in patients with and without specific risk factors for hypoxemia. Research personnel will screen and ensure that each subject meets the enrollment criteria, and the informed consent is properly executed. Upon arrival to the PACU, each subject will be fitted with oxygen mask containing the Linshom sensor, which will be connected to a Linshom monitor for data collection. A side stream capnography line will be connected to the same face mask and the capnography data will be collected on the Zoe Medical 740 SELECTâ„¢ monitor. Additionally, two pulse oximeters will be applied to the same hand (non- NIBP arm), one of which will be connected to a hospital monitor (SoC) and the other to a Zoe Medical 740 SELECTâ„¢ monitor. The Linshom and 740 SELECTâ„¢ monitors will collect data once every second. Research personnel will then initiate the Linshom CPRM baseline mode and begin recording any clinical intervention (e.g., medications, oxygen delivery change, and stimulation upon detection of changes in patient's condition) that is performed by the PACU staff, paying close attention to, and recording of time at which those interventions occurred. Data collection will be performed throughout the subject's entire PACU stay. The CPRM data collection will be performed passively while the patient is monitored via SoC and will not interfere with clinical interventions that may take place during the data collection. Clinical staff in the PACU will be blinded to the Linshom CPRM data as well as pulse oximetry (non-SOC monitor) and capnography data collected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
