Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Group A; which will involve pregnant women with gestational age between 32-40 weeks. It will take place at: i. Labor and delivery floor/obstetric floor: 100 patients scheduled for cesarean section under neuraxial anesthesia with 150 mcg intrathecal or 3-mg epidural morphine. ii. Antenatal care: (obstetric floor, Long Wharf women clinic, Women center at Yale) Group B; in post anesthesia care units (PACU) and surgical floor: 100 patients scheduled to receive General Anesthesia (GA) and planned to receive opioid intravenously (boluses/patient controlled analgesia (PCA). Group C: in step down/ICU; 50 patients suffered from rib fracture and 50 patients after weaning from mechanical ventilation and extubation.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who suffered rib fractures or patients who are weaned from mechanical ventilation and recently extubated.

Who cannot join

  • Have known contraindication/allergy to neuroaxial/paravertebral nerve block anesthesia
  • Patients allergic to morphine.
  • Have an ASA class > IV

About this study

Respiratory volume monitor (RVM) (ExSpiron) is superior to continuous pulse oximetry in detection of postoperative respiratory depression in high risk patients.

Read the detailed description

Aims are to: 1) Estimate the incidence of postoperative respiratory depression in high risk patients as detected by continuous pulse oximetry 2) Estimate the incidence of postoperative respiratory depression in high risk patients as detected by continuous respiratory volume monitor (RVM) (ExSpiron) 3) Assess the agreement between the continuous pulse oximetry and continuous respiratory volume monitor (RVM) (ExSpiron) in detection of postoperative respiratory depression in high risk patients

What participants receive

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

  • Expiron respiratorDevice

    Respiratory volume monitor (RVM) (ExSpiron, is a non-invasive FDA approved device that monitors minute ventilation (MV) and provides an early indication of respiratory status in non-intubated patients. The system consists of a lightweight monitor, a patient cable, and a disposable electrode PadSet, which detects changes in breathing.

Pregnant women with gestational age between 32-40 weeks.100 patients scheduled for cesarean section under neuraxial anesthesia with 150 mcg intrathecal or 3-mg epidural morphine.

Patients in step down/ICU.50 patients suffered from rib fracture and 50 patients after weaning from mechanical ventilation and extubation.The Expiron will provide continuous information about the respiratory status (tidal volume, respiratory rate and minute ventilation) of non-intubated patients specifically: sleeping or awake; with the use of incentive spirometry; the response to medications and other interventions (such as paravertebral/epidural block); the need for endotracheal re-intubation.

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of postoperative respiratory depression

    To define the incidence of postoperative respiratory depression between 2 devices.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Detection of postoperative respiratory depression in high risk patients.

    To determine the agreement between these 2 devices in detection of postoperative respiratory depression in high risk patients.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Depression, run by Yale University 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 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 1 Apr 2022. 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?

The incidence of postoperative respiratory depression (time frame: 1 year). 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 1 Apr 2022.
