About this study

Official title: Accuracy of Point-of-Care Measurement of Electrolytes, Glucose, Hemoglobin and Hematocrit With the RapidPoint 500 Blood Gas Analyser

ICU patients are at high risk of ionic or metabolic disturbances during the course of their critical illness. Some of these disturbances might be life-threatening and require rapid response from physicians. Point-of-Care determination of electrolytes, glucose, hemoglobin and hematocrit ensures early detection (within 1 minute) of abnormal values and allows rapid and appropriate therapy. This technology has largely improved the quality of care in ICU. However, the accuracy of the measurement of those parameters had to be close enough to the reference method, usually perfomed in the central lab but time consuming. Recently, a novel generation of blood gas analyser has been released. Among them, the RapidPoint 500 is mounted with a 28-day cartridge which provides automatic calibrations and quality controls several times a day. Such a technology dramatically decreases the need for labs technical interventions. To date, there is no data reporting the accuracy of this device. Therefore, the investigators' aim is to compare the accuracy of the RapidPoint 500 with a reference measurement performed at the central laboratory (Beckman\&Coulter AU5800 for electrolytes and Beckman\&Coulter DXH for hemoglobin).

What is being measured

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

  1. bias and limit of agreement

    to describe the bias and limit of agreement between the tested method and the reference method for electrolytes, glucose, hemoglobin and hematocrit.

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Dumming regression analysis

    to describe the relation between the tested method and the reference method for electrolytes, glucose, hemoglobin and hematocrit.

    Measured: 1 month

  3. Coefficient of correlation (Pearson)

    to describe the correlation between the tested method and the reference method for electrolytes, glucose, hemoglobin and hematocrit.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Critical Care and Electrolytes, run by Hôpital Européen Marseille at 1 site in France.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2016. 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 France. 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?

bias and limit of agreement (time frame: 1 month). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02449226, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 23 Feb 2016.
