Trial summary

Opioids are the mainstay of analgesia in hospitalized children but opioid therapy is associated with life-threatening respiratory depression requiring antagonism with naloxone. Hence, it is hypothesized that naloxone requirement can be used as a quality measure of opioid safety. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of Hospital-wide Critical Respiratory Events Requiring Naloxone in a Pediatric Institution

Opioids are the mainstay of analgesia in hospitalized children but opioid therapy is associated with life-threatening respiratory depression requiring antagonism with naloxone. Hence, it is hypothesized that naloxone requirement can be used as a quality measure of opioid safety. A retrospective medical chart review of 95 patients, who received naloxone for life threatening events, from June 2006-2012, is planned, to identify significant factors associated with risk for opioid induced respiratory depression and formulation of preventive strategies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Opioid Induced Respiratory Depression, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati at 1 site 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 1 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 23 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

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?

Descriptive: Medical history and Risk Factors for critical respiratory events requiring Naloxone in children (time frame: about 6 hours around the event). 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 23 May 2013.
