About this study

Official title: Piezoelectric Sensors for Non-invasive Continuous Arterial Blood Pressure Measurements

The primary objective of this study is to collect training data in order to establish a method for correlating arterial blood pressure with voltage output signals from a non-invasive piezoelectric array sensor placed on the skin superficial to the radial artery.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to collect training data in order to establish a method for correlating arterial blood pressure with voltage output signals from a non-invasive piezoelectric array sensor placed on the skin superficial to the radial artery. The development of this sensor could allow for non-invasive continuous measurement of arterial blood pressure.

The key hypothesis is: if the piezoelectric array sensor can detect pulsatile pressure waves when placed on a near surface artery and pulse wave analysis has been shown to allow for accurate beat-to-beat estimation of blood pressure, then the device placed superficial to a near surface artery should allow for the non-invasive estimation of continuous blood pressure.

Secondary objectives include identification of any significant ergonomic and motion artifact issues that could affect sensor utilization in future applications.

What is being measured

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

  1. Arterial Blood Pressure Measurement from Arterial Line

    We will be capturing arterial blood pressure measurement per standard of care from arterial line. This will include systolic and diastolic measurements and will be sampled continuously from standard invasive monitoring equipment. Because of the high frequency sampling, we will be capturing the entire pulse waveform with each heartbeat.

    Measured: Surgery start to surgery stop

  2. Arterial Blood Pressure Measurement from Non Invasive Sensor

    The piezoelectric sensor array detects mechanical pressure from the radial artery that is transmitted to the skin and converts this to microvolt electric potentials. These microvolt signals are captured by the sensor array equipment. The microvolt signals will be time-synchronized with the standard of care invasive arterial line pressure data.

    Measured: Surgery start to surgery stop

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assessment of accuracy of algorithm to convert piezoelectric signal data into blood pressure measurements.

    Approximately 80% of the data collected in this study will be used to refine and train an algorithm which has previously been validated on phantom and swine models to convert piezoelectric sensor data into meaningful blood pressure measurements. The remaining data (approximately 20%) will be used to test the accuracy of the algorithm against actual measured invasive blood pressure. Accuracy will be measured in terms of +/- mmHg at diastolic and systolic pressures.

    Measured: Approximately 4 months following collection of data from subjects

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Blood Pressure and Arterial Line, run by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 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 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?

Arterial Blood Pressure Measurement from Arterial Line (time frame: Surgery start to surgery stop). The study lists 2 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 18 Nov 2023.
