Trial summary

Wireless wearable devices (WWD) have been shown to be an effective means to measure patient activity and sleep-wake cycles in the ICU. However, no current studies involving WWD have demonstrated the ability of these devices to measure adverse outcomes, including delirium in critically ill patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Quantifying Activity After Cardiac Surgery Using Wireless Wearable Technology

Wireless wearable devices (WWD) have been shown to be an effective means to measure patient activity and sleep-wake cycles in the ICU. However, no current studies involving WWD have demonstrated the ability of these devices to measure adverse outcomes, including delirium in critically ill patients. This study is unique because the investigators will implement monitoring with the WWD prior to extubation in the ICU to correctly measure first mobilization, as well as capture quality of sleep and episodes of delirium for the first five postoperative days.

Read the detailed description

In this single-center non-randomized prospective cohort study, cardiac surgical patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass will be enrolled consecutively with written informed consent from the time this protocol is approved by the IRB until 100 subjects are enrolled (expected duration of subject enrollment is 12 months). Upon arrival into the ICU, cardiac surgery subjects will have a Fitbit Charge 2 device placed on their wrist and will wear the device until the fifth post-operative day. This device will wirelessly transmit data regarding activity and sleep quality to a smartphone application for the duration of wear. No identifiable patient information will be entered into the smartphone application or transmitted to any external entity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of steps walked

    Number of steps walked as measured by the Wireless Wearable Device

    Measured: Postoperative day 2 to Postoperative day 5

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Length of sleep

    Number of hours slept with little activity as measured by the Wireless Wearable Device

    Measured: Postoperative Day 1

  2. Delirium

    Occurrence of delirium with few hours slept as measured by the Wireless Wearable Device

    Measured: Postoperative Day 2 (after extubation)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Activity, Motor and Sleep, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center 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 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 3 Oct 2019. 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 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 steps walked (time frame: Postoperative day 2 to Postoperative day 5). 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 3 Oct 2019.
