About this study
Study hypothesis: Machine Learning algorithms and techniques previously developed for use in the robotics field can be applied to the field of medicine. These state-of-the-art, feature extraction and machine learning techniques can utilize patient vital sign data from bedside monitors to discover hidden relationships within the physiological waveforms and identify physiological trends or concerning conditions that are predictive of various clinical events. These algorithms could potentially provide preemptive alerts to clinicians of a developing patient problem, well before any human could detect a worrisome combination of events or trend in the data.
Specific aims:

- Collect physiological waveform and numeric trend data from patient vital signs monitors in ICUs at the University of Colorado Hospital and Children's Hospital Colorado.
- Combine the physiological data from patient monitors with clinical data obtained from patient Electronic Medical Records including IV fluids, medications, ventilator settings, urine output, etc. for use in developing models of various clinical conditions.
- Apply Machine Learning techniques to these models to identify physiological waveform features and trend information, which are characteristic and predictive of common clinical conditions including but not limited to:
- Post-operative atrial fibrillation and other cardiac dysrhythmias
- Post-operative cardiac tamponade
- Tension pneumothorax
- Optimal post-operative and post-resuscitation fluid needs
- Intracranial hypertension and cerebral perfusion pressure

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Vital Signs, run by University of Colorado, Denver.
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 8 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Relevant Clinical Features (time frame: 2 years). 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 28 Sep 2023.
