Trial summary

In ICU setting, a large number of medical devices are attached to patients, generating numerous alarm signals. Several studies have demonstrated that most of these alarms are not clinically relevant and tend to lower the attentiveness of healthcare professional and, in turn, lower patient safety.The aim of the study… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Relevance and Possible Nuisances of Respiratory Rate Alarm Generated by Multi-parametric Monitors in Non Ventilated ICU Patients.A Prospective, Monocentric, Observational Study

In ICU setting, a large number of medical devices are attached to patients, generating numerous alarm signals. Several studies have demonstrated that most of these alarms are not clinically relevant and tend to lower the attentiveness of healthcare professional and, in turn, lower patient safety.The aim of the study is to assess the relevance of respiratory rate alarm on a monitoring device in non-ventilated ICU patients.

The investigator primary hypothesis is that this alarm is potentially useless. If this hypothesis is confirmed, a second interventional trial will be conducted on the impact of this alarm removal.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of useful alarms within 2000 patient-monitored hours

    Number of intervention of healthcare team following a relevant respiratory rate alarm generated by a monitoring device and without any other associated alarm.

    Measured: through study completion, within 6 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Ratio of artifact alarms among all alarms generated by the monitoring device

    Artifact alarm : monitoring is functional but the measure is false

    Measured: through study completion within 6 months

  2. Ratio of technical alarms among all alarms generated by the monitoring device

    Technical alarm : Alarm leading to a reactivation of the monitoring system.

    Measured: through study completion within 6 months

  3. Ratio of significant alarms among all alarms generated by the monitoring device

    Significant alarm: True alarm triggered by a correct measure

    Measured: through study completion within 6 months

  4. Number of care activity interrupted by a respiratory rate alarm generated by the monitoring device

    Measured: through study completion within 6 months

  5. Setting of alarms on the monitoring device

    Measured: through study completion within 6 months

  6. ICU length of stay

    Measured: Until discharge from ICU, an expected average of 7 days

  7. all-cause ICU mortality

    Measured: Until discharge from ICU, an expected average of 7 days ]

  8. Ratio of respiratory rate alarms generated by the monitoring device among all ICU alarms

    Measured: through study completion within 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Ventilated ICU Patients, run by Centre Hospitalier Departemental Vendee 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 8 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 1 Feb 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 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?

Number of useful alarms within 2000 patient-monitored hours (time frame: through study completion, within 6 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 1 Feb 2018.
