About this study

Official title: The Utility of Amplified Pretracheal Stethoscope in Detecting Ventilatory Abnormalities During Propofol Sedation of Non Intubated Children: a Validation Study

The purpose of the study is to validate the diagnostic performance of the amplified pretracheal stethoscope (APS) to detect sedation-related adverse acute respiratory events in propofol sedated nonintubated children. To determine the sensitivity/specificity and positive/negative predictive value of the APS in detecting sedation-related adverse acute respiratory events in propofol sedated nonintubated children.

What is being measured

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

  1. An auscultation of a stridor score greater than or equal to 2 will be defined as a sedation-related adverse acute respiratory event

    Measured: Day 1 of propofol sedation.

  2. A stridor score of less than 2 will be defined as not sedation-related event.

    Measured: Day 1 of sedation.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the APS for predicting airway obstruction.

    A subject will be considered as evaluable for the sensitivity/specificity evaluation if (1) all inclusion criteria are met, (2) presedation phase is completed, and (3) the sedation induction and maintenance phase is completed.

    Measured: Day 1 of propofol sedation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing APS in people with Sedation, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison 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 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 26 Dec 2018. 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?

An auscultation of a stridor score greater than or equal to 2 will be defined as a sedation-related adverse acute respiratory event (time frame: Day 1 of propofol sedation.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Dec 2018.
