About this trial

This is a prospective, observational, blinded clinical study with the purpose of assessing the safety of a non-invasive decision support system for the identification and management of shock (the CRUISE system). Researchers will compare the recommendations provided by the CRUISE system with those executed as part of the standard of care by transport paramedics and medics in acute ill adult critically ill patients in shock or requiring active resuscitation being transported by helicopter (STAT MedEvac) to Presbyterian Hospital.

Planned total enrollment is 60 patients.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

All adult patients with signs of shock evaluated, treated, and/or transported by Emergency Medical Services under medical oversight of UPMC EMS Medical Directors and/or arriving at UPMC facilities with which the PI and Co-investigators routinely have access to the records.

Disqualifiers

Age < 18 years

Active atrial fibrillation or irregular rhythm

Open chest

Known right ventricular failure

Trial population

Critical ill patients being transported to the hospital by EMS to the core tertiary UPMC hospitals (UPMC Presbyterian, Shadyside, Mercy, and Passavant).

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Observation blinded group with the purpose of assessing the safety of a non-invasive decision support system for the identification and management of shock (the CRUISE system).

    Device

    The sensor device will be removed either by STAT MedEvac personnel or by the investigator after arrival at the hospital. The patient will receive their standard care upon hospital arrival. The sensor device will be manually retrieved by the investigator, and deidentified physiological, and waveform data will be loaded to a research server. Maintain a linkage list to connect this deidentified data back to the original patient. Prehospital XMLs are downloaded from SQL database as XMLs, they are then processed and appended to STATA tables. The primary key (PRID) is then linked to the noninvasive monitors with the same key and temporally matched if key is not present. EHR is linked through secondary keys (MRN and FIN). Further EHR linkage is done by perfectly matching Protected Health Information (PHI) patient name and date of admission from trauma registry. An arbitrary study ID variable is created for each subject, and a linkage list is saved along with all other PHI information
