Trial summary

There is a drug-related death crisis in Scotland. The majority of these deaths have involved the misuse of opiates (e.g. heroin) and benzodiazepines (e.g. valium) which cause an individual to stop breathing. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: ARM-ED: Advanced Respiratory Monitoring Events in Drug Toxicity - An Emergency Department Feasibility Study of the Utilisation of a Wearable Device in Patients With Sedative Effects of Drugs

There is a drug-related death crisis in Scotland. The majority of these deaths have involved the misuse of opiates (e.g. heroin) and benzodiazepines (e.g. valium) which cause an individual to stop breathing. The Advanced Respiratory Monitoring Events in Drug Toxicity (ARM-ED) study is a study investigating whether a wearable sensor can help detect problems with breathing in patients who have had drugs or medications that may cause this effect. The study will span a year and will study two groups of patients - those who attend with actual or expected respiratory depression secondary to acute drug toxicity and individuals who have undergone procedural sedation and analgaesia in the Emergency Department.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to assess if it is feasible to collect respiratory waveform data using an advanced respiratory monitoring device named Pneumowave and whether the device is user friendly in terms of nurse, clinician, and patient.

This is an observational cohort study which utilises passive non-invasive data collection. The device, Pneumowave, will be studied in two distinct groups of patients: those who attend with actual or expected respiratory depression secondary to acute drug toxicity (Group 1) and individuals who have undergone procedural sedation and analgaesia (PSA) in the ED (Group 2). Participants will be studied for the duration of their ED attendance or in the case of PSA for the duration of their sedation and recovery period. They will be followed up via electronic notes 28 days later to identify adverse outcome and to link cases to available toxicology screens performed.

The target number of participants in this study is 100. 50 patients who fit group 1 characteristics and 50 patients who fit group 2 characteristics.

Data from Pneumowave will be analysed in parallel with de-identified clinical and vital sign observational data to inform artificial intelligence driven predictive modelling algorithms.

This study will inform on the utilisation and usability of a wearable device for monitoring an individual's respiratory patterns following the effects of sedative drug use. It will add understanding to potential use of such a device to predict the respiratory compromise in the wearer and alert appropriate stakeholders for timely intervention and ultimately prevention of the wearer's morbidity and mortality.

What participants receive

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

  • Pneumowave Device placement and data captureDevice

    Participants in the acute toxicity group will be studied for a period of time during their Emergency Department attendance or in the case of PSA for the duration of their sedation and recovery period.

    Usual care will be provided to the patient with additional period with Pneumowave biosensor placed onto chest and data capture for a period of time whilst patient is in the Emergency Department,

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?

Length of time device in situ on patient (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05358132, which also lists 20 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 21 Jun 2024.
