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

Completed
Conditions
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Registration Number
NCT03660501
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg
Brief Summary

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 24/7 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. The WARD-COPD project aims to determine the correlation between cardiopulmonary micro events and clinical adverse events during the first four days after hospital admission with acute exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (AECOPD).
