Trial summary

This study will include patients who have major surgery and are at risk for or have been diagnosed with sleep apnea. The patients will be monitored the night after surgery for repeating episodes of reduced breathing and oxygen levels. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Non-Randomized Study of Pulse Oximetry Saturation Patterns in Postoperative Patients at High Risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

This study will include patients who have major surgery and are at risk for or have been diagnosed with sleep apnea. The patients will be monitored the night after surgery for repeating episodes of reduced breathing and oxygen levels. The study will determine if episodes of decreased breathing are reflected in the oxygen monitor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Presence of Repetitive Reductions in Nasal Airflow Patterns in the Pulse Oximetry Saturation Trend Data.

    Number of patients exhibiting the presence of repetitive reductions in airflow patterns in the pulse oximetry trend data collected on subjects

    Measured: 12 hour after released from the recovery room

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Relationship Between the Oxygen Desaturation Patterns and Repetitive Reductions in Nasal Airflow as Measured by Inductance Plethysmography and Nasal Pressure.

    The number of patients with a positive repetitive reduction in nasal airflow which correlates with positive oxygen desaturation pattern as measured by photoplethysmography sensors.

    Measured: 12 hours after discharge form the recovery room

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Medtronic - MITG at 2 sites in Canada.

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 6 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 7 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Canada. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Aug 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Presence of Repetitive Reductions in Nasal Airflow Patterns in the Pulse Oximetry Saturation Trend Data. (time frame: 12 hour after released from the recovery room). 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 7 Aug 2014.
