About this study

Official title: Preterm Neonate/ Neonatal Embedded Universal Microelectronic Wearable Acquisition for Cardio Respiratory Intensive Therapy. Clinical Assessment of Device Usability and Reliability

The usability of a new PNEUMACRIT system is studied in clinical environment in this feasibility study.

Read the detailed description

Electrical impedance tomography is a noninvasive monitoring tool for neonatal lung aeration and breathing. This feasibility study will assess the usability of a new PNEUMACRIT electrode belt in clinical environment.

Feasibility of the PNEUMACRIT beltExperimentalNeonates will be monitored with a PNEUMACRIT electrode belt for 6 to 24 hours. After the study period, patient parents and nurses will give feedback.
Receives: Device: PNEUMACRIT

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion (%) of recording time with high quality EIT-signal

    Proportion of time that the collected EIT signal is accurate enough for reliable image reconstruction and observations of changes in lung aeration

    Measured: 6-24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Staff and parent questionnaires

    After the study period, the patient parents and nurses will give feedback on the device and its feasibility with a structured questionnaire including also free text fields

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PNEUMACRIT in people with Neonatal Respiratory Distress, run by University of Oulu at 1 site in Finland.

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 6 inclusion and 4 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 28 Feb 2024. 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 Finland. 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?

Proportion (%) of recording time with high quality EIT-signal (time frame: 6-24 hours). 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 28 Feb 2024.
