About this study

This study involves looking at Cerebral oximetry measurements in pediatric and neonatal patients who are experiencing a critical illness. Such as Altered mental status, seizures, trauma, sepsis, etc.

Read the detailed description

At Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) Pediatric Emergency Department (PED), NIRS cerebral tissue oxygenation rSO2 monitoring has become an adjunct noninvasive monitoring assessment tool along with Pulse Oximetry and End-Tidal CO2 in the critically ill and injured neonatal and pediatric patients' resuscitation endeavors or management. This has become a standard monitoring tool for patients who require medical (possible strokes, diabetic ketoacidosis, increased intracranial pressure, altered mental status, sepsis, drowning, shock, rapid sequence intubations, seizures, altered mental status, strokes, possible shunt malfunctions) or trauma (non-accidental trauma, Level One or Two Trauma with altered mental status, traumatic brain injury, altered mental status with trauma history, vascular compromise) resuscitation efforts.

Data will be collected as a retrospective and prospective chart review from the electronic medical record of patients that were treated in the pediatric emergency department of Arkansas Children's Hospital from 10-1-13 who require medical (possible strokes, diabetic ketoacidosis, increased intracranial pressure, altered mental status, sepsis, drowning, shock, rapid sequence intubations, seizures, altered mental status, strokes, possible shunt malfunctions) or trauma (non-accidental trauma, Level One or Two Trauma with altered mental status, traumatic brain injury, altered mental status with trauma history, vascular compromise) resuscitation efforts. This study will be based on the patient information recorded in these records, such as age, medications delivered, vital signs, interventions and outcomes and compared to their PED NIRS cerebral tissue oxygenation rSO2 data. All study subject materials will be assigned a unique identifying code or number. The cerebral NIRS rSO2 data will be collected/graphed and de-identified.

What is being measured

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

  1. Observing Cerebral oximetry readings when patients present to the pediatric emergency department

    All study data will be obtained from the physical or electronic medical records obtained at Arkansas Children's Hospital. Patient's NIRS and vital signs data will be in an excel format with de-identified patient information which will be age, interventions, and etiology as denoted as Medical vs. Trauma (see study population for inclusion criteria). This is a data review with de-identified patient chart analysis for age, weight, past medical histories, co-morbidities, medical or surgical interventions, medications, seizures, duration of events, cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, intubations, and outcomes. All relevant information will be entered into a Redcap database. All study subject materials will be assigned a unique identifying code or number.

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NIRS in people with Stroke and Diabetic Ketoacidosis, run by Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 May 2020. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Concerns over standard of care and recruiting process. Investigator left UAMS, therefore study halted immediately). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Observing Cerebral oximetry readings when patients present to the pediatric emergency department (time frame: 4 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 May 2020.
