About this study

The purpose of this study is to document how often and how severe are the breathing difficulties that patients suffer, while recovering on a general ward following a serious operation

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, 2-center, 2-phase pilot study of post-surgical adult patients on the hospital ward at high risk of developing respiratory and cardiovascular events. Phase I, 70 patients will be 1:1 randomly allocated to Capnostream 20p monitoring system or to PM1000N-RR pulse oximeter monitoring system and the alarms of both devices will be silenced and the screen information blinded, to establish a baseline for the incidence of respiratory events. Phase II, 140 patients will be 1:1 randomly allocated to Capnostream 20p or to PM1000N-RR monitoring but the screen information will be visible at the bedside and through the Vital Sync™ remote patient monitoring system.

Being tested
Capnostream 20 monitoring, PM1000N-RR monitoring

What is being measured

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

  1. Quantify the Incidence and Severity of Post-operative Respiratory Compromise Markers

    Respiratory Compromise markers are identified by continuous monitoring to determine the benefit of continuous monitoring on the general ward

    Measured: 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluate 2 Different Monitoring Devices

    Compare patient compliance and the sensitivity of two monitoring systems in high risk, post-surgical patients Study was stopped prematurely due to difficulties with enrollment and low participation rate. A decision was made not to analyze data as only 6 patients were enrolled which would not give meaningful results.

    Measured: 72 hours

Model description
The occurrence of at least one of the following RC markers will be considered as primary endpoint for patients monitored by Capnostream 20p during both study Phases: (1) SpO2 ≤ 90% for ≥ 3 minutes.(2) RR ≤ 8 or ≥ 22 bpm for ≥ 3 minutes. (3) etCO2 ≤ 15 or ≥ 60 mmHg for ≥ 3 minutes. (4) Apnea episode lasting \> 30 seconds.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Capnostream 20 monitoring and PM1000N-RR monitoring in people with Respiratory Complication, run by Medtronic - MITG at 2 sites in Germany.

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 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Mar 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Quantify the Incidence and Severity of Post-operative Respiratory Compromise Markers (time frame: 72 hours). 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 8 Mar 2021.
