The COSMOS Trial. A Pilot Study A Pilot Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The investigators plan a pilot study to evaluate patient tolerance of the GE Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution, along with appropriate alert thresholds, and clinical utility. Data obtained in the proposed pilot cohort will guide design of a future robust randomized trial comparing clinical interventions and serious complications with blinded versus unblinded continuous ward monitoring.

Detailed Description
The investigators plan a pilot study to evaluate patient tolerance of the GE Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution, along with appropriate alert thresholds, and clinical utility. The system is a novel battery-powered untethered monitor for continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, and pulse rate that is designed for use by patients on surgical wards. The initial phase will evaluate patient tolerance, with clinicians and patients blinded to monitor data. Results will be used to evaluate the frequency of respiratory events and pulse rate abnormalities. These data will be used to design clinical alert settings, based on various durations at various thresholds (e.g., saturation <85% for >1 minute). Our main goal will be to identify clinically meaningful vital sign abnormalities with a minimum of false alerts. Secondarily, the investigators will evaluate the frequency and duration of abnormalities, and the fraction that are detected clinically.
In the second phase of the pilot, clinicians will be unblinded to the GE Portrait monitors, and alerts provided based on the durations and threshold identified in the initial part of the pilot. The primary outcomes will be clinician tolerance and the extent to which clinicians believe that vital sign trending and alerts provided useful information rather than distraction. Specifically, the investigators will assess the fraction of alerts that clinicians deemed meaningful, and the fraction that resulted in clinical interventions. In the third phase of the pilot, the durations and thresholds for saturation, respiratory rate, and pulse rate that trigger alerts will be adjusted based on results from the second phase.

Patients will be randomized to blinded or unblinded GE Portrait monitoring. All patients will be monitored with the GE Portrait Monitor. Patients who are randomized to the unblinded GE Portrait monitoring might be intervened if the clinicians believe that the alarm is clinically meaningful.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Total duration of time patients experienced vital sign abnormalities in unblinded vs blinded GE Portrait monitoring [Up to 96 hours after surgery]
The investigators will determine whether patients with unblinded continuous ward monitoring with the GE Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution experience less time with vital sign abnormalities as defined in the initial phase of the study. Specifically, the investigators will test the primary hypothesis that the cumulative duration of vital sign abnormalities (using criteria determined in Phase 1) is shorter with unblinded than blinded GE Portrait monitoring in patients recovering from major noncardiac surgery.
- Vital sign abnormality frequency in unblinded vs blinded GE Portrait monitoring [Up to 96 hours after surgery]
The investigators will determine whether unblinded continuous ward monitoring with the GE Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution reduces vital sign abnormalities. Specifically, the investigators will test the primary hypothesis that the cumulative duration of vital sign abnormalities (using criteria refined in Phase 2) is shorter with unblinded than blinded GE Portrait monitoring in patients recovering from major noncardiac surgery
