NCT04010058

Brief Summary

The patient's clinical care will not be altered apart from an the use of a non-invasive monitor for a short time, without any biological sample acquisition, or follow-up. This is low risk. The device works through a complex pressure measurement in the fingers and by slightly squashing the fingers it can cause minor impairments to circulation. This represents a very small risk. To mitigate this risk the investigators will exclude patients with impaired circulation to the fingers and fingers will be monitored. The approach is necessarily on the day of surgery and for many people this is an anxious time. The investigators have a lot of experience of approaching patients on the day of surgery for providing consent for observational studies - the investigators use caution and sensitivity. The investigators do not approach patients who the clinical team consider anxious or where there is significant pressure on time.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Feasibility

    Number of suitable patients who provide consent and have the device sited / number of suitable patients who provide consent (%)

    3 months

  • Acceptability

    In those patients who have provided consent and had the monitor sited, how many tolerate the device and keep it on throughout the observation period (at least 12 hours) and provide useable data / number of suitable patients who provide consent and have the device sited (%)

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (18)

  • What proportion of patients have any recorded episodes of hypotension?

    3 months

  • What proportion of patients have any recorded episodes of hypotension? Just considering the time on the ward, after PACU

    3 months

  • In the PACU, considering those with at least one episode of SBP<90mmHg, how long are patients hypotensive for? (CNAP data)

    3 months

  • On the ward, considering those with at least one episode of SBP<90mmHg, when using data from the CNAP, how long are patients hypotensive for?

    3 months

  • On the ward, considering those with at least one episode of SBP<90mmHg, when using data from VitalPAC, how long are patients hypotensive for?

    3 months

  • +13 more secondary outcomes

Interventions

The LiDCO CNAP device (referred to as CNAP in this document) provides continuous cardiac output non-invasively, without the requirement for an arterial catheter. It uses a dual finger cuff in addition to a standard arm cuff (familiar to everyone who's had their blood pressure checked) and it transforms infrared plethysmographic signals into continuous blood pressure information. It uses an algorithm to derive cardiac output-related parameters. In recognition of the potential difference between the derived values and any measured values, it refers to some of its values as 'nominal' values. It has been evaluated in a range of surgical populations8-11 a post-operative cohort12, and a haemodynamically unstable critical care population13. In a population of patients undergoing endoscopy there was increased detection of episodes of hypotension compared with standard measures.

Eligibility Criteria
