About this study

The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of monitoring hemodynamic changes, which result from heart failure exacerbations, by recording the respiratory effort, chest wall dynamics and quantifying the development of dyspnea by using miniature mechanical sensors that are attaches to the chest.

Read the detailed description

Pulmonary veins congestion and fine changes in alveolar transudative effusion accumulation affect lung mechanics (compliance) and the respiratory effort. Moreover, the associated state of oxygen de-saturation is compensated by an increase in the respiratory effort. These changes in the respiratory effort are reflected in chest wall dynamics and may provide the earliest non-invasive sign for lung congestion and deterioration in the heart failure.

The research system comprises of patches attached to the patients' thorax that include motion sensors (Accelerometers) that measure the chest wall dynamics and the mechanics of lung inflation and deflation. The signals are acquired by a miniaturized device that amplifies and samples the signals, stores and analyzes the data and displays the trends on the screen.

What participants receive

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

  • "Pneumedicare"s monitoring system.Device

    Also called "Pneumedicare"s monitoring system for heart failure patients

    50 patients hospitalized due to the decompensated HF are considered for entry. 3 patches will be attached to the patients' thorax that include motion sensors. The system will be attached to the patients at the start of treatment. Patient's signals will be recorded during the entire treatment in the hospital, to the point that there is an improvement in their health condition.

  • "Pneumedicare"s monitoring systemDevice

    Also called "Pneumedicare"s monitoring system for heart failure patients

    Non invasive clinical follow-up of patients with HF deterioration and improvement, by a device-based algorithm. The system comprises of patches attached to the patients' thorax that include motion sensors (Accelerometers) that measure the chest wall dynamics and the mechanics of lung inflation and deflation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing "Pneumedicare"s monitoring system. and "Pneumedicare"s monitoring system in people with Heart Failure, run by Rambam Health Care Campus at 1 site in Israel.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2011. 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 Israel. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shmuel rispler, MD PhD (972-4-8542180, s_rispler@rambam.health.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

earliest non-invasive signs for lung congestion and deterioration in the heart failure (time frame: 18 months). 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 21 Jun 2011.
