Trial summary

The pain medication given after major surgery may cause some patients to stop breathing for periods of time especially at night time. An oxygen monitor may reflect this abnormal breathing pattern. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Oxygen Saturation Monitoring in the General Care Floor (GCF): An Observational Study of Repetitive Reductions in Airflow

The pain medication given after major surgery may cause some patients to stop breathing for periods of time especially at night time. An oxygen monitor may reflect this abnormal breathing pattern. This is an observational study of 100 post-operative patients who will be monitored with a pulse oximeter for a minimum of two nights and a maximum of five nights to determine the prevalence of this abnormal breathing pattern.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of General Care Floor Patients Exhibiting a Saturation Pattern Detection (SPD) Alert.

    Number of patients on the General care Floor in which a SPD (Saturation Pattern Detection) Alert occurs. Each patient wore a sensor on their finger continuously after surgery for up to 5 days. The sensor was attached to a Nellcor N600X oximeter which measures blood oxygen level. A SPD alert detects a patient's blood oxygen level that is increasing and decreasing in a pattern that is associated with periods of no breathing.

    Measured: 5 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE) Caused by no Breathing

    Number of participants with Airway Obstruction that caused the patient to stop breathing Number of participants with Cardiac arrest w/resuscitation caused by the patient not breathing

    Measured: Five Nights

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Disordered Breathing, run by Medtronic - MITG at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Oct 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of General Care Floor Patients Exhibiting a Saturation Pattern Detection (SPD) Alert. (time frame: 5 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Aug 2014.
