Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Subjects are acutely exposed to a range of hypoxic gas mixtures to induce falls in arterial oxygen saturation in the range 95-70%. Oximeter readings (SpO2) are compared with simultaneously determined CO-oximetry measurements of SaO2 from arterial blood samples. These samples are drawn once a steady state has been achieved at each level of hypoxaemia, usually 3-5 minutes.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 1589 0
Accuracy of SpO2 compared with SaO2
Timepoint [1] 1589 0
Arterial blood samples are drawn once a steady state has been achieved at each level of hypoxaemia, usually 3-5 minutes.
Secondary outcome [1] 2882 0
Response characteristics of the oximeters are assessed during the initial period following step changes in inspired oxygen concentration.
Timepoint [1] 2882 0
The period is varied but it is usually within 2-3 minutes.

Summary
Brief summary
Pulse oximeters are used in many areas of clinical medicine and a clear understanding of their performance is critical to appropriate and safe use. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of a new pulse oximeter under a range of oxygen conditions compared with CO-ocimetry, which is the current reference method for this measurement.
