Wireless Assessment of Respiratory and Circulatory Distress in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - Validation Study

University Hospital Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg20 enrolled

Overview

For patients admitted to the medical ward, it is often difficult to predict if their clinical condition will deteriorate, however subtle changes in vital signs are usually present 8 to 24 hours before a life-threatening event such as respiratory failure leading to ICU admission, or unanticipated cardiac arrest. Such adverse trends in clinical observations can be missed, misinterpreted or not appreciated as urgent. New continuous and wearable 27/7 clinical vital parameter monitoring systems offer a unique possibility to identify clinical deterioration before patients condition progress beyond the point-of-no-return, where adverse events are inevitable. As part of the WARD-COPD project, this validation study aim to assess the accuracy of physiologic parameters derived from standard and wireless patient monitors

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Enrollment

Conditions

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Interventions

Continuous monitoring systemDEVICE

Patients recruited will be continuously monitored with Isansys Lifetouch patch, Isansys wireless blood pressure monitor (Meditech Blue BP-05), Nonin WristOx 3150 as well as departments standard monitors

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Comparison of heart rate (beats per minute) measurement with Isansys Lifetouch patch vs standard monitoring (Phillips IntelliVue)

Analysed using a Bland Altman (BA) analysis to measure mean difference and limits of agreement between the two methods. The BA analysis will correct for repeated measures within each subject if required.
