  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The investigators plan to observe a non-probability, convenience sample of patients which will consist primarily of acutely ill hospitalized adult patients (at least 18 years of age). Study participants will be recruited from all eligible patients during the enrollment period who are having vital signs monitoring performed as Standard of Care.

Who may be able to join

  • patients admitted to the study units during the period of data collection

About this study

To evaluate the effect of automated recording on frequency of recorded scores, number of automated notifications and serious events.

Read the detailed description

The frequency of EWS scores, number of automated notifications and serious events performed on a general ward is contingent on the quality and frequency of vital signs measurement like respiratory rate. This is due to the EWS escalation schemes of hospitals with an acute intervention team. Obtained sub-score trigger levels of vital signs contribute to higher and more frequent scoring.

We examine the influence of different respiration rate sensor concepts and measurements on scoring (NEWS and CREWS) and workflow in a typical UK gastroenterology and respiratory ward.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Automatic RR MeasurementDevice

    Different newly developed respiration rate sensors are applied at the bedside during the intervention phase which send data to the IntelliVue Guardian System.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Arrest and Renal Failure, run by Philips Healthcare at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 12 Apr 2017. 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 Kingdom. 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 NEWS Scores (time frame: 8-12 Weeks). 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 12 Apr 2017.
