About this study

Official title: Ancillary Study: Monitoring of Patients After Ambulatory Surgery by Biobeat® Devices: Pilot Feasibility Study

The objective of this ancillary study of the MEET-OS study is to assess the technical feasibility of using Biobeat® monitoring devices after ambulatory surgery at high risk of complications.

The secondary objectives are to assess: i) the patient's experience and tolerance ii) the occurrence of clinical disturbances in the patients's home after ambulatory surgery with high risk of postoperative complications iii) to determine the impact of the data obtained with the monitoring devices on the clinical care decisions during postoperative follow-up.

Read the detailed description

With increasingly complex surgeries and increasingly comorbid patients, ambulatory surgery are not always at low risk of postoperative complications. Among the new support tools available for monitoring patients remotely, devices for monitoring vital signs could be of interest to healthcare staff in charge of monitoring, more precisely when comorbid patients are involved or when interventions at high risk of complications are performed.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Monitoring device Biobeat®Biobeat® non-invasive monitoring devices can be used in an out-of-hospital perioperative setting to observe patients' vital signs up to 5 days postoperatively. The Biobeat® portable adhesive device will be installed after the surgery, in the recovery room. All patients will be equipped with a portable single-use Biobeat® Bluetooth device that will be positioned at chest level and connected via Bluetooth to the patient's cell phone. These patches have been FDA approved since 2019 (new approval in 2022) for non-invasive (systolic, diastolic, and mean) blood pressure measurement without a cuff. The following other parameters will also be recorded: peripheral oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiratory rate and body temperature based on the analysis of the plethysmography wave. This data will be recorded as soon as the patches are installed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients with no loss of data for a period of 2 consecutive hours over the entire follow-up period.

    Measured: From the installation of the monitoring device after the surgery up to 5 days postoperatively.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percentage of useful data available per day for the interpretation of vital signs during the first 5 days

    Measured: From the installation of the monitoring device after the surgery up to 5 days postoperatively.

  2. Percentage of patients with no data loss for 1, 4, 6, and 8 consecutive hours over the entire follow-up period.

    Measured: From the installation of the monitoring device after the surgery up to 5 days postoperatively.

  3. Percentage of patients with data loss of one hour or more preceding a postoperative event.

    The postoperative event is defined as a call to the CHUM health info line.

    Measured: From the installation of the monitoring device after the surgery up to 5 days postoperatively.

  4. Frequency of occurrences and the cumulative time of clinical disturbances

    The occurrence of manufacturer alerts and the following clinical disturbances within 72 hours postoperatively will be evaluated: moderate postoperative arterial hypotension (defined by mean arterial pressure < 65 mmHg), severe arterial hypotension defined by MAP < 60 mmHg; moderate arterial hypertension defined by an MAP > 110mmHg; severe arterial hypertension defined by a MAP > 130mmHg; bradycardia defined by a heart rate < 40bpm; tachycardia defined by a heart rate > 100bpm; bradypnea defined by respiratory rate < 8/min; tachypnea defined by respiratory rate > 20/min; oxygen desaturation < 95%; oxygen desaturation < 90%; oxygen desaturation < 85%; hypothermia defined as body temperature < 36.0°C; hyperthermia defined as body temperature > 38.0°C.

    Measured: From the installation of the monitoring device after the surgery up to 5 days postoperatively.

  5. Patient's experience

    A phone interview will be conducted to collect the patient's experience with a questionnaire derived from Breteler and al., which consist of 12 questions, adapted to the present study and focused on the experience of the patient and his caregiver, his tolerance and his satisfaction.

    Measured: 7 days after the surgery

  6. Percentage of appropriate and inappropriate clinical decision changes from the clinical intervention decided by the expert committee will be assessed.

    Measured: Up to 60 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Surgery-Complications and Patient Satisfaction, run by Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) at 1 site in Canada.

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 10 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 8 Sep 2023. 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 Canada. 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?

Percentage of patients with no loss of data for a period of 2 consecutive hours over the entire follow-up period. (time frame: From the installation of the monitoring device after the surgery up to 5 days postoperatively.). 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 Sep 2023.
