Assessment of Breathing Using an Under-bed Weighing Scale
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to assess the capability of a modified under bed weighing scale (contact-free unconstrained respiratory monitor, BSS) to predict postoperative pulmonary complications in high-risk surgical patients.
The study is designed to test the hypothesis that abnormal breathing measured by a modified under bed weighing scale predicts postoperative pulmonary complications within 7 days after surgery.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Postoperative pulmonary complications [First 7 postoperative days]
atelectasis, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary aspiration, re-intubation, unprecedented non-invasive ventilation, unplanned ICU admission, or re-admission to the hospital due to respiratory complication.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Postoperative pulmonary complications [First 3 postoperative days]
atelectasis, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary aspiration, re-intubation, unprecedented non-invasive ventilation, unplanned ICU admission, or re-admission to the hospital due to respiratory complication.
- Major adverse Cardiovascular events [First 7 postoperative days]
death, myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, stroke, and heart failure.
- Hospital length of stay [30 days after surgery]
Duration from surgery to hospital discharge
- Adverse discharge disposition [30 days after surgery]
lost of ability to live independently: adverse discharge disposition to a skilled nursing facility or in-hospital mortality
