Trial summary

Four methods are routinely used to monitor CO2 in patients. End tidal CO2 (EtCO2) is monitored through the endotracheal tube during general anesthesia. CO2 is also monitored in other healthcare settings transcutaneously (TCO2), via finger stick capillary CO2 (CapCO2), and arterial blood gas (ABG). Read more about this study

About this study

Four methods are routinely used to monitor CO2 in patients. End tidal CO2 (EtCO2) is monitored through the endotracheal tube during general anesthesia. CO2 is also monitored in other healthcare settings transcutaneously (TCO2), via finger stick capillary CO2 (CapCO2), and arterial blood gas (ABG). The purpose of this study is to perform all four measurements simultaneously during general anesthesia to identify which measure provides the most accurate data with the least amount of patient risk.

What participants receive

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

  • End tidal CO2 (EtCO2)Other

    End tidal CO2 (EtCO2) is monitored through the endotracheal tube during general anesthesia.

  • Transcutaneous CO2 (TCO2)Device

    Also called The SenTec Digital Monitoring System (SDMS)

    Continuous and noninvasive real-time monitoring of transcutaneous CO2.

  • Capillary CO2 (CapCO2)Diagnostic test

    Capillary CO2 collected by finger stick and run on the i-STAT handheld blood analyzer.

  • Arterial blood gas (ABG)Diagnostic test

    Arterial blood gas collected from the radial artery and run on the i-STAT handheld blood analyzer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of CO2 Levels

    Looking at the accuracy of CO2 levels assessed via end tidal CO2 (ETCO2), capillary CO2 (Cap-CO2), and transcutaneous CO2 (TCCO2) compared to arterial blood gas (ABG) which is the gold standard.

    Measured: Immediately following induction of anesthesia

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing End tidal CO2 (EtCO2), Transcutaneous CO2 (TCO2) and Capillary CO2 (CapCO2) in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Nationwide Children's Hospital 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 14 Mar 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Mar 2019). 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?

Accuracy of CO2 Levels (time frame: Immediately following induction of anesthesia). 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 14 Mar 2019.
