Detecting Post-surgical Respiratory Compromise and Prompting Patients to Self-rescue: An Early Feasibility Study
NCT02962557 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study will explore the feasibility of an idea to use standard, FDA-approved patient monitors to detect ventilatory depression and then play a recorded nurse's voice to prompt patients by name to breathe. The voice prompt will occur in addition to when the traditional alarms are sounded by the monitors. The study device consists of commercially available physiologic monitors, a speaker, and a laptop computer. The physiologic monitors include a pulse oximeter with a motion sensor, capnometer, and nasal airway pressure sensor (built into a nasal cannula). Nasal pressure is a commonly used clinical monitor for sleep apnea detection during polysomnography testing in sleep labs.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02962557
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02962557 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 40 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Utah, which has 686 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Anesthesia appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which NM3, Phillips Medical, Wallingford CT: verbal prompts to breathe with an optional shoulder shake is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02962557 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Utah. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
