Trial summary

Blood gas analysis were routinely monitor every 4 hours in our surgical cardiac intensive care unit (SICU). These luxury investigations waste the resources. Therefore we develop a pathological- based guideline for arterial blood gas analysis in patients after cardiac surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Blood gas analysis were routinely monitor every 4 hours in our surgical cardiac intensive care unit (SICU). These luxury investigations waste the resources. Therefore we develop a pathological- based guideline for arterial blood gas analysis in patients after cardiac surgery. We test the guideline for its safety and efficacy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Guideline in people with Blood Gas Analysis, run by Mahidol University.

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 1 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 11 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Number of ABG test (time frame: 14 days). 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 11 Dec 2015.
