Trial summary

The respiratory rate is an important parameter in clinical medicine. It is defined as the number of breaths per minute. Currently this is measured at the bedside in clinical practice by counting the breaths, however the gold standard for measuring this vital sign is the capnograph. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Quality Assurance Study of Respiratory Rate Measurements on Obese Patients With a Novel Monitoring Technology

The respiratory rate is an important parameter in clinical medicine. It is defined as the number of breaths per minute. Currently this is measured at the bedside in clinical practice by counting the breaths, however the gold standard for measuring this vital sign is the capnograph. For the patient, this involves wearing a tube in their nose and around their ears while trying to minimise their movement and talking so that the measurements can be taken.

A new respiratory rate monitor, RespiraSense, is non-invasive and measures the respiratory rate by measuring the displacement between the ribs and abdomen. This research study is intended to validate that this technology is effective and accurate on people with a bigger body mass.

Subjects with a BMI > 35 will be invited to participate should they meet all of the eligibility criteria. If patients agree to participate, following informed consent, subjects will be monitored for one hour with both the capnograph and RespiraSense measuring at the same time so their results can be compared

Being tested
RespiraSense Respiratory Rate Monitor

What participants receive

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

  • RespiraSense Respiratory Rate MonitorDevice

    RespiraSense device will be attached at the same time as the capnograph (gold standard) and both will measure simultaneously for one hour

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of PMD RespiraSense against capnography in obese patients.

    Analysed using a Bland Altman (BA) analysis to measure limits of agreement between both methods. The BA analysis will correct for repeated measures within each subject if required. In addition, a Deming Regression will be performed on the collected data.

    Measured: 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Comparison of PMD RespiraSense in obese patients with BMI below 50 and those with BMI of 50 or above.

    Analysed using a Bland Altman (BA) analysis to measure limits of agreement between both methods. The BA analysis will correct for repeated measures within each subject if required. In addition, a Deming Regression will be performed on the collected data.

    Measured: 1 hour

  2. Identification of any accuracy spread patterns as BMI increases.

    Analysed using a Bland Altman (BA) analysis to measure limits of agreement between both methods. The BA analysis will correct for repeated measures within each subject if required. In addition, a Deming Regression will be performed on the collected data.

    Measured: 1 hour

  3. Collection of feedback on device comfort when worn by patients with high BMI.

    Will not be analysed formally.

    Measured: 1 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Rate, run by PMD Solutions at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 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 20 Mar 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 Kingdom. 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?

Comparison of PMD RespiraSense against capnography in obese patients. (time frame: 1 hour). 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 20 Mar 2019.
