Trial summary

Regional tissue oxygenation (cStO2) can be monitored by near infrared spectroscopy. The commercial device INVOS 5100 (COVIDIEN, Mansfield, MA, USA) and the prototype OxyPrem vs. 1.2 (Biomedical Optics Research Laboratory, Zurich, Switzerland) will be used simultaneously to test for their relative sensitivity for low… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Cerebral Oximetry in Newborns - Comparing INVOS 5100c and OxyPrem vs. 1.2's Absolute Values, Sensitivity for Low Oxygen Levels and Reproducibility

Regional tissue oxygenation (cStO2) can be monitored by near infrared spectroscopy. The commercial device INVOS 5100 (COVIDIEN, Mansfield, MA, USA) and the prototype OxyPrem vs. 1.2 (Biomedical Optics Research Laboratory, Zurich, Switzerland) will be used simultaneously to test for their relative sensitivity for low oxygen levels just after birth on term infants born by elective caesarean section. Reproducibility will be examined by replacements of the sensors six times the next day when the infant is stable and quiet. The Adult Somasensor (INVOS) will be used together with the OxyPrem sensor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cerebral oxygenation

    The sensors of both instruments will be placed on each side of the head. They will be held by hand by self-adhesive tape as appropriate.

    Measured: 10 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Reproducibility

    The sensor will be placed 6 times alternating on each frontoparietal region and held by hand, obtaining 30 seconds of signal for each placement. The placements will be in the same region but not in exactly the same spot. This will be done for both devices.

    Measured: 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Near-infrared Spectroscopy, Transition, Caesarean Section, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 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 7 Oct 2013. 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 Denmark. 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?

Cerebral oxygenation (time frame: 10 minutes). 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 Oct 2013.
