About this study

Official title: Validation of Pulsewave Oscillometric Wrist Cuff Blood Pressure Monitor in Hypertensive and Normotensive Pregnant and Postpartum Women

The purpose of this study is to test the accuracy of the Pulsewave wrist blood pressure cuff in pregnant and postpartum women who have either normal blood pressure or high blood pressure.

Read the detailed description

The study will include a series of nine blood pressure measurements. The measurements will alternate between a gold standard auscultatory blood pressure measurement and the Pulsewave monitor.

A trained clinician will be used for gold standard measurements using an appropriately sized cuff around the upper arm, a sphygmomanometer, and a stethoscope. Systolic blood pressure is defined by the first Korotkoff sound; diastolic blood pressure is defined by the fifth Korotkoff sound.

Measurements by the Pulsewave monitor will be performed using a proprietary oscillometric wrist cuff automated by a computer tablet and software made by CloudDx Inc.

Women will be seated for 5 to 10 minutes before the first blood pressure measurement. During this time, 4 circumference measurements will be taken of the arm and wrist.

  1. The armpit will be measured as proximally as possible.
  2. The mid upper arm will be recorded by measuring at the halfway point between the acromion and the olecranon process.
  3. The distal upper arm measurement will be taken approximately 2 cm proximal to the antecubital crease.
  4. The wrist will be measured approximately 2 cm proximal to the wrist flexion crease.

The first two blood pressure measurements will be used as a way to orient the subject to each device and the methods so that they are comfortable with the cuff and the process. The seven subsequent measurements will be used for analysis. There will be a 30 second to 60 second period between blood pressure measurements.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of measurements by Pulsewave cuff that are within 5 mmHg of standard clinical measurements

    Test measurement will be compared to standard measurements made at the same time.

    Measured: Immediately after blood pressure measurement

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertension, run by University of Arkansas 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 3 inclusion and 3 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 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 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Proportion of measurements by Pulsewave cuff that are within 5 mmHg of standard clinical measurements (time frame: Immediately after blood pressure measurement). 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 22 Jul 2016.
