Capnography Study:
(scroll down for monitor directions)
|
|
Overview:
A study designed to determine if there
is significance between clinical events occuring during a procedural
sedation and End Tidal levels
|
|
Study Endpoints:
ETCO2 levels drawn as measured with the CapnoStream20 monitor.
Clinical events as they occur throughout the procedure. |
|
Eligible Patients:
18 or older; Receiving a conscious sedation for any reason. Any
patient is eligible as long as they do not randomize to Ketamine. If
the Dr. does not wish to randomize the patient to the other sedation
studies, the patient can still be eligible for this one.
|
|
Study Design:
Prospective, observational trial
|
|
Anticipated Benefits:
None
|
|
Potential Risks:
None

Research Associate’s
Role: Identify and consent potential patients. Obtain End
Tidal levels with ETCO2 monitor; The RA is responsible for identifying, enrolling, and
collecting data from eligible patients for this study. The RA
is in charge of setting up and putting away the End-Tidal
CO2 monitors used to obtain data.
Also, instructions for how to use the
new End Tidal monitor are taped to the BIS cart, and also above the
center computer in the media room. Cannulae for the new monitor are
on a shelf in the media room.
Please only use the new monitor for sedations if you get a
patient in this particular study, or combine it with either the
Alfentanil or Ketamine studies (assuming patient does not randomize
to Ketamine).

|
Physician’s Role:
The RA will ask you to notify them of any conscious sedations being
performed so that they may enter the patient into the study.

Location of Study
Packets: Team Center B (center island). Consents and datasheets
are paper-clipped together.

Directions for Capnography Monitor (Square machine):
1) Make sure machine is plugged
in. Attach cannula (orange end) to left side.
2)
Turn on monitor. Make sure flash drive is plugged into back of machine.
3)
Attach cannula to patient.
4)
Click (by pressing in the scrolling knob) “system” on the monitor,
followed by “data output.”
5)
Make sure the data output is set at “realtime continuous waveform” –
designated by a mark
6)
Scroll down and click “start USB”, then scroll to and click “home”
7)
It will now be capturing the patient data
8)
When procedure is completed, click into “system,” then “data output,”
then click “stop USB.” Turn off monitor, take cannula off of patient.
