About this study

This study is designed to validate implementation of the CRI algorithm in the CypherOx CRI system.

Healthy human subjects will undergo progressive reduction in central blood volume to the point of hemodynamic instability (defined by a precipitous fall in systolic blood pressure (SBP) below 70 mmHg and/or voluntary subject termination due to discomfort (such as sweating, nausea, or dizziness) to validate the following hypotheses:

The CypherOx CRI system will A. Trend intravascular volume changes (hemorrhage) B. Trend stroke volume changes and C. The CRI trend value is not relative to an initial CRI reading, instead it is an actual CRI trend value that does not require calibration or being placed during normal physiological conditions.

Read the detailed description

Hemorrhagic shock is a leading cause of death in both civilian and battlefield trauma. Currently available medical monitors provide the capabilities to measure standard vital signs that are often imprecise, subjective, intermittent and inconsistent. More importantly, the appearance of hypotension and other signs and symptoms of shock represent a point in time when it may be too late to apply effective lifesaving interventions. Understanding the physiological signals that provide the best indicators of blood volume loss and impending circulatory failure is critical to bridging the capability gap of identifying the need for early intervention. Under a previous BAMC IRB-approved protocol, we used lower body negative pressure (LBNP) as an experimental model of central hypovolemia to simulate progressive blood loss that results in hemodynamic instability (e.g., hypotension, tachycardia, presyncopal symptoms) in conscious, healthy human subjects. From data collected within this original protocol, we now understand that arterial waveforms (either blood pressure or pulse oximetry) are important variables associated with hypovolemia. Feature extraction and machine learning techniques were applied to these previously collected data and an algorithm was developed called Compensatory Reserve Index (CRI) which was designed to reflect progressive blood loss and decreasing stroke volume. This algorithm was installed in a pulse oximeter in which the photo-plethysmographic waveform (PPG) was used to calculate the CRI. Using this CRI Pulse oximeter, a pretrial study of 24 subjects indicated a high correlation in trending of blood volume loss (DOD study at Mayo Clinic) and a mean correlation of 0.96 when comparing CRI to stroke volume (LBNP at AISR Laboratory). The work proposed herein will validate those findings. During each experiment each test subject will wear 4 FDA cleared pulse oximeters which transmit PPG data to an off-the-shelf handheld tablet (meets military specs) which will calculate and display the CRI value. The subjects will also wear 2 FDA cleared Nexfin hemodynamic monitors that display stroke volume. LBNP will be used to produce progressive central hypovolemia in healthy human subjects until the point of hemodynamic decompensation (presyncope). This approach will validate the correlation of CRI to stroke volume.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemorrhage, run by Flashback Technologies at 1 site in United States.

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 12 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 6 Mar 2015. 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 States. 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?

15 subjects must complete the LBNP trial (time frame: Up to 4 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 6 Mar 2015.
