Vital Sign Monitoring

This is a non-invasive basic science study that will meet the study objectives by recruiting 256 participants in the NICU. The study will also include sub-protocols for parents/carers/guardians of eligible participants to complete post measurement questionnaires. Each participant will have their HR, RR, SpO2, BP, ECG and temperature measured continuously using standard of-care equipment and methods. At the same time, video of the participant's face and parts of the torso with exposed skin will be captured 4 times every hour (every 15 minutes) using the Data Collect app running on a tablet positioned above the neonate's cot. The video recorded using the app will be uploaded to the cloud for subsequent analysis and processing aligned to the study's primary and secondary objectives only. The app will not return any measurements to the user or participant. The video may be recorded for up to 120 seconds each time. There will be a maximum of three attempts at recording measurements. Most of the data collected will be used to "train" the existing Lifelight algorithms to measure VS in neonates and infants. The remaining data will be kept separate and used to assess the accuracy of the algorithms at regular intervals during the dataset collection period. The study delivery process will be responsive to this learning curve to increase the likelihood that predetermined accuracies for each VS estimation algorithm are achieved by study end.

To explore the feasibility, acceptability, and implementation considerations associated with the adoption of the NeWTS system within NHS neonatal services.

The "COME ON, NOW!" trial is a randomized, single-center trial in patients recovering from non-cardiac surgery on normal wards investigating whether continuous vital sign monitoring - compared to routine spot-checks by nurses - reduces the total duration of abnormal vital signs per hour during the first 48 hours after admission to the normal ward.

Randomized controlled trial of a time motion study of time spent obtaining and charting vital signs for inpatients, comparing use of a wireless Bluetooth vital sign array as intervention versus routine vital sign obtainment activity on a general medical floor.

The study was planned to be conducted and completed within 6 months after ethics committee approval was obtained. The study is a prospective, quasi-experimental study. The population of the study will consist of children who are hospitalized in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of SBÜ. İzmir Dr. Behçet Uz Pediatric Diseases and Surgery Training and Research Hospital. The vital signs and comfort of the children of the parents who agreed to participate in the study will be measured before bathing (baseline) and care will be taken to ensure that they are similar in both groups. Children in the study will not be randomized. In the routine operation of the clinic, traditional bathing is performed once a week and wipe bathing is performed once every two days. Wipe bathing is performed at 36-37 degrees water with 10 ml of chlorhexidine in 200 ml of water. Traditional bathing is also performed with 36-37 degrees water in bed or in the bathtub. In the study, no intervention will be performed and the outcomes will be measured and compared with each other before and after both bathing procedures. Physiologic parameters including respiratory rate, pulse rate, oxygen saturation and comfort levels of newborns just before, during and after the bathing process (1st and 5th minute) will be evaluated and compared with each other. To avoid bias in the study, all bathing procedures will be performed by Specialist Nurse Esat Erdem GÖKPINAR. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
