Trial summary

Peripheral pulse oximetry allows continuous non-invasive measurement of arterial oxygen saturation, but the gold standard for arterial oxygen saturation is co-oximeter which requires an arterial blood sample. Read more about this study

About this study

Peripheral pulse oximetry allows continuous non-invasive measurement of arterial oxygen saturation, but the gold standard for arterial oxygen saturation is co-oximeter which requires an arterial blood sample. The purpose of this research study is to determine the accuracy of a pulse oximeter with a standard sensor (Masimo LNCS sensor) versus with the study sensors, namely Masimo blue sensor and Nellcor Max-I sensors and compared against co-oximetry. Currently available peripheral oximeters (standard) are inaccurate at low oxygen saturation noted in children with cyanotic heart disease. Hence therapeutic interventions (including surgery and cardiac catheterizations) based solely on peripheral oximetry can be delayed and or inadequate. By doing this study the investigators will be able to establish correct limits of peripheral pulse oximeter when using the standard and the study sensors.

Peripheral pulse oximetry allows continuous non-invasive measurement of arterial oxygen saturation, but the gold standard for arterial oxygen saturation is co-oximeter which requires an arterial blood sample. The purpose of this research study is to determine the accuracy of a pulse oximeter with a standard sensor (Masimo LNCS sensor) versus with the study sensors, namely Masimo blue sensor and Nellcor Max-I sensors and compared against co-oximetry. Currently available peripheral oximeters (standard) are inaccurate at low oxygen saturation noted in children with cyanotic heart disease. Hence therapeutic interventions (including surgery and cardiac catheterizations) based solely on peripheral oximetry can be delayed and or inadequate. By doing this study we will be able to establish correct limits of peripheral pulse oximeter when using the standard and the study sensors.

The investigator hopes to learn the limits of accuracy of currently available and used pulse oximeters. In children with cyanotic heart disease the "blue sensor" has been found in small studies to be more accurate compared to the "standard" pulse oximeter.

This study is important as it will provide information as to which pulse oximeter should be routinely used in children with cyanotic heart disease and to assess which SPO2 even with blue sensor is borderline and therefore the physician will know to obtain arterial blood sample for co-oximeter prior to planning important procedures based on a saturation reading.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of Peripheral Pulse Oximetry versus Arterial Co-oximeter in Children with Cyanotic Heart Disease

    The primary outcome measure is to describe the bias and precision between the Masimo blue sensor and co-oximetry.

    Measured: 2 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. establish correct limits of peripheral pulse oximeter when using the standard and the study sensors.

    The secondary measure was to describe the limits of the blue sensor and standard sensor accuracy as compared with the co-oximeter. If the test sensors consistently have a bias greater than 2 SD from the co-oximeter value at saturations lower than eg., 80 then the recommendation would be that the co-oximetry be used to measure patients saturatioin rather than relying on pulse oximtery alone for clinical decision making

    Measured: 2year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cyanotic Heart Disease, run by Stanford University 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 8 Mar 2017. 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?

Accuracy of Peripheral Pulse Oximetry versus Arterial Co-oximeter in Children with Cyanotic Heart Disease (time frame: 2 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02237014, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 8 Mar 2017.
