Optical Brain Pulse Monitor: Validation of Cerebral Oximetry Monitoring (OBPM:VOCOM) Study.

Not Applicable
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Hypoxia
Registration Number
NCT06657820
Lead Sponsor
Elliot Teo
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to calibrate and validate a cerebral oximeter product from Cyban Pty. Ltd. The study will involve comparing cerebral oximeter signals against reference arterial and jugular bulb blood gas measures.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of the study is to measure the absolute and relative accuracy of the StO2 device by comparing the NIRS-derived brain tissue oxygen saturation with blood-referenced CO-oximeter oxygen saturation values. The CO-oximeter oxygen saturation values from paired arterial and jugular bulb blood samples are combined into a weighted-equation to derive the reference SavO2. Accuracy is reported over a range of oxygen saturations with study subjects exposed to a controlled oxygen desaturation with serial sampling of paired arterial and internal jugular venous blood gas samples.

SINGLE_GROUP
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Accuracy by Average Root Mean Squared Error6 months

The Accuracy by Root Mean Square Difference (ARMS) will be used to evaluate accuracy of the investigational device StO2 compared with the blood-referenced SavO2

Bland-Altman Agreement Analysis6 months

A Bland-Altman (BA) analysis will be conducted on the difference (D) and mean (A) of StO2, SavO2, where

* D = StO2 - SavO2

* A = (StO2 + SavO2) / 2

The following statistics will be presented:

* Bias and its 95% confidence interval (CI)

* Standard deviation of bias (sum of between and within subject variance components)

* Lower and upper 95% limit of agreement (LoA) and their 95% CI

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Concordance Correlation Coefficient6 months

The concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) method is used to measure the agreement between of two devices. CCC could have values from -1 to 1, with values near 1 indicating strong concordance between the two devices, values near -1 indicating strong discordance, and values near zero indicating no concordance.

Passing-Bablok Regression Analysis6 months

Passing-Bablok regression is used to compare measurements from different devices, and is a robust nonparametric regression method that does not make assumptions about the distribution of the expected values or the error terms in the model. The 95% CI for the intercept and slope will be estimated from the regression.

Linear Mixed Model Regression Analysis6 months

A random effects linear mixed model will be used to regress StO2 on SavO2. Subject will be included as a random effect in the model to account for the correlation of repeated measures within the same subject.

Subgroup Analysis of Agreement6 months

Bland-Altman analyses will be generated for subgroups to assess the two device agreement among different subgroups. A forest plot will used to present the results. The following subgroups will be considered.

* Restricted oxygen desaturation range: 50% ≤ reference SavO2 ≤ 75%

* Oxygen desaturation steps as measured by SpO2 (13 steps)

* Fitzpatrick score group

* Sex

* Race
