About this study

Official title: Effect of the Mobile Self-input Tool of Incentive Spirometer on Its Usage by Patients : a Randomized Clinical Trial

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the mobile self-input tool providing alarm and visual motivation, how much more it can encourage practicing of incentive spirometer undergoing post-operative patients under general anesthesia. Half of participants will receive the mobile self-input tool providing alarm, and their practicing rate will be sent to Nurse's Dashboard. While the other half will receive the mobile self-input tool, but it won't contain alarm function and their practicing rate won't be sent to Nurse's Dashboard, either.

Read the detailed description
  1. Background : Active respiratory therapy like incentive spirometer is needed to prevent pulmonary complications for patients undergoing post-operative under general anesthesia. But in many cases, patients don't practicing it for their pain, or they just forget doing it. And medical staffs are having difficulties in checking how well the patients follow the directions for doing incentive spirometer. Insufficient practicing incentive spirometer and deep breathing cause delay their health recovery. Therefore, we want to make some tools which can encourage the patients' practicing for incentive spirometer and also supply the objective achievement of patients to medical staffs.
  2. Objective : This study evaluates the effectiveness of the mobile self-input tool providing alarm and visual motivation, how much more it can encourage practicing of incentive spirometer undergoing post-operative patients under general anesthesia.
  3. Design: RCT (randomized controlled trial)
  4. Setting: In the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery at the Samsung Medical Center
  5. Enrollment : 44 patients undergoing gastrectomy.
  6. Intervention 6-1) For study group : participants on study group are received self-input tool with alarm system on tablet. Alarm is provided only if insufficient practice (less than 10 times/hour) from 9am to 9pm. The practicing rate is sent to Nurse's Dashboard. 6-2) For control group : participants on control group are received self-input tool without alarm on tablet. Their practicing rate is not sent to Nurse's Dashboard.
  7. Scoring by practicing incentive spirometer from 9 am to 9 pm. (Only when a subject practiced more than 10 times per hour, the subject get 10 points) (Full score 240)
  8. Study period : for 48hrs from one day to 3rd day after patient's operation
  9. Satisfaction survey (SUS) after study(3rd day after operation)

What participants receive

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

  • AlarmOther

    1. Alarm is provided from 9am to 9pm.
    2. Alarm is active every 50 minutes if the exercise goal(10 times/hour) hasn't satisfied.
  • Nurse's dashboardOther

    1. Wireless data transmission system
    2. The practicing rate of participants on study group is sent to Nurse's Dashboard.
    3. It is only to display.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total number of practicing incentive spirometer that subjects input by themselves on the mobile self-input tool and scoring by practicing incentive spirometer from 9 am to 9 pm.

    Only when a subject practiced more than 10 times per hour, the subject get 10 points

    Measured: Only collecting the numbers of practicing between 9 am and 9 pm for two days, from 1st day to 3rd day after operation.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Collecting subject's medical records related to pulmonary complication

    such as body temperature, laboratory results and Chest X-ray.

    Measured: From one day after subject's operation to the date the subject leaves(discharges) the hospital. (Average duration is for 4~5days)

  2. Satisfaction Survey for mobile self-input tool

    Scoring by the answers of the Questionnaire of Satisfaction (SUS)

    Measured: 3rd day after operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Alarm and Nurse's dashboard in people with Gastrectomy, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 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 South Korea. 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?

Total number of practicing incentive spirometer that subjects input by themselves on the mobile self-input tool and scoring by practicing incentive spirometer from 9 am to 9 pm. (time frame: Only collecting the numbers of practicing between 9 am and 9 pm for two days, from 1st day to 3rd day after operation.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03569332, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
