NCT01848912

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find a way of detecting infection earlier in patients receiving bone marrow transplant. This is accomplished by continuous individualized monitoring of heart rate, respiratory rate and temperature variability in this patient population. The investigators are collecting data to determine whether or not subtle differences in heart rate, respiratory rate and temperature will help physicians to detect infection earlier in order to begin faster treatment before a patient's condition deteriorates. Blood tests will also be performed to check for certain biomarkers that may indicate infection

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Admission to ICU with organ failure or hospital

    Patients are monitored for a period of up to 10 days or until their white blood cell count goes up, which could take an expected average of 20 days
