About this study

Official title: Study of Thermoregulatory Reactions of the Body of Medical Workers Who Use Personal Protective Equipment From Biological Hazards

This research will provide data on thermal condition, functional status and working conditions of medical workers who use personal protective equipment from biological hazards. Acquired data will be used to define acceptable period of use for these protective costumes.

Read the detailed description

This research will recruit 14-20 volunteers. During 8 hours each subject will perform their work using protective costume. Heart rate, electrocardiogram, oxygenation, skin and air temperature under costume and hygrometric data will be registered. Also there will be questionnaires for volunteers for subjective assessment of thermal and moisture sensations and assessment of working conditions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Overheating, run by Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution "Izmerov Research Institute of Occupational Health" at 1 site in Russia.

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 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 25 Oct 2021. 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 Russia. 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?

Skin thermometry (time frame: 8 hours). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Oct 2021.
