Filter by:This study is Phase 3 of a three-phase DOD CDMRP funded project for the development of a multi-technology poly-anatomic noninvasive system for early detection of occult hemorrhage. Early detection of ongoing hemorrhage (OH) before onset of shock is a universally acknowledged great unmet need, and particularly important after trauma. Delays in the detection of OH are associated with a "failure to rescue" and a dramatic deterioration in prognosis once the onset of clinically frank shock has occurred. An early alert to the presence of OH with an acceptable rate of false-positives and false-negatives would save countless lives. Additionally, such technology would save significant time, money and effort by allowing medical resources to be applied more accurately - the essence of precision medicine. An automated system would monitor currently stable patients continuously, leaving clinicians free to care for patients in need of attention.
Early detection of ongoing hemorrhage (OH) before onset of hemorrhagic shock is a universally acknowledged great unmet need, and particularly important after traumatic injury. Delays in the detection of OH are associated with a "failure to rescue" and a dramatic deterioration in prognosis once the onset of clinically frank shock has occurred. An early alert to the presence of OH would save countless lives. This is a single site study, enrolling 48 patients undergoing liver resection in a "no significant risk" prospective clinical trial to: 1) further identify a minimal subset of noninvasive measurement technologies necessary for the desired diagnostic performance, 2) validate the performance of our Phase I algorithm, and 3) re-train the algorithm to a Phase II human iteration. The main outcome variables are non-invasive measurements that will be used for machine learning, not real-time patient management. The data generated will be used later for discovery and validation in traditional and innovative machine learning.
