What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Medline Pediatric Face MasksDevice

    Medline Face Masks, which are single use disposable masks were evaluated on children. The mask was worn for 2-3 minutes for EtCO2 and respiration assessments and physical fit assessment.

  • KC Childs MaskDevice

    KC Childs Mask, which are single use disposable masks were evaluated on children. The mask was worn for 2-3 minutes for EtCO2 and respiration assessments and physical fit assessment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Carbon Dioxide Levels

    ETCO2 will be assessed by a capnographer when wearing each pediatric face mask. Results are the difference between masks in change from baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and 2 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Physical Fit of Pediatric Face Masks.

    Physical fit will be determined by a reviewer after the mask is put on. The fit will be based on a several fit parameters to compare the difference in the score between the two masks.

    The total fit score was calculated by summing the nose to chine coverage score (0 = No, 1=Yes) and gap score (0=No apparent gap, flush to face on one or both sides, 1=Slight gap, not flush to face but can see cheeks only, 2=Moderate gap, can see mouth. , 3=Large gap, mask loose fitting all around face (chin, sides, nose, etc.) to arrive a total score with 0 indicating best fit and 4 indicating worst fit.

    Measured: Immediate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Medline Pediatric Face Masks and KC Childs Mask in people with Healthy, run by Medline Industries 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 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 23 Apr 2019. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Change From Baseline in Carbon Dioxide Levels (time frame: Baseline and 2 minutes). 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?
