NCT06645548

Brief Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to compare standard methods of weight estimation and drug dose calculations against weight estimates and dose calculations using a 3D camera weight estimation system in critically ill or injured cohorts of patients presenting to the Emergency Department. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: Are weight estimates from a 3D camera system more accurate than standard methods of weight estimation? Do patients who receive weight estimates with a 3D camera system have fewer drug dosing errors than patients receiving standard care? Participants will either receive a weight estimate using a 3D camera system, or standard methods of care. Researchers will compare the 3D camera group to those with standard care to see if the weight estimates are more accurate, to see if drug dosing is more accurate, and to compare the incidence of adverse events related to medications in each group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Weight estimation accuracy

    Determination of accuracy of estimates of total body weight, ideal body weight and lean body weight against reference standards

    Immediately on enrolment

  • Time to obtain weight estimate

    Measurement of time taken to obtain weight estimate

    Immediately on enrolment

  • Drug dosing accuracy

    Determination of accuracy of drug doses against reference standard

    First 72 hours after enrolment

  • Correct dosing scalar used

    Determination of appropriateness of dosing scalar used for each drug

    First 72 hours after enrolment

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Accuracy of in-bed scales

    First 72 hours after enrolment

Study Arms (2)

Control arm (standard care)

NO INTERVENTION

TBW, LBW and IBW will be estimated using standard care processes. All relevant medical care will be based on this weight for the first 72 hours

3D camera weight estimation

EXPERIMENTAL

TBW, LBW and IBW will be automatically estimated using the 3D camera system. All relevant medical care will be based on this weight for the first 72 hours

Other: Weight estimation using 3D camera

Interventions

Total body weight, ideal body weight and lean body weight estimates will be obtained using a 3D camera system. This weight will be used for calculation of weight-based drug doses and other weight-based interventions.

Also known as: Weight estimation using computer vision
3D camera weight estimation
