An observational study in Non Ventilated ICU Patients, sponsored by Centre Hospitalier Departemental Vendee. Completed at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-02-01.
Sponsored by Centre Hospitalier Departemental Vendee · Observational
In ICU setting, a large number of medical devices are attached to patients, generating numerous alarm signals. Several studies have demonstrated that most of these alarms are not clinically relevant and tend to lower the attentiveness of healthcare professional and, in turn, lower patient safety.The aim of the study is to assess the relevance of respiratory rate alarm on a monitoring device in non-ventilated ICU patients.
The investigator primary hypothesis is that this alarm is potentially useless. If this hypothesis is confirmed, a second interventional trial will be conducted on the impact of this alarm removal.
Centre Hospitalier Departemental Vendee is the lead sponsor of 81 studies on the registry; 12 are open to participants now.
