Incidence of Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression in Medical and Trauma Patients

June 9, 2021 updated by: Poudre Valley Health System

Incidence of Opioid-induced Respiratory Depression in Medical and Trauma Patients on the General Care Floor Receiving Patient-controlled Analgesia and Nurse Administered Intravenous Opioids Monitored by Capnography and Pulse Oximetry: A Prospective, Blinded Observational Study

The primary objective of this prospective, blinded observational study is to correlate assessment of sedation and respiratory status with capnography and pulse oximetry monitoring in hospitalized adult medical and trauma patients receiving patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) or nurse administered intravenous (IV) opioids for acute pain. Nursing assessment of respiratory status and sedation level will be correlated with capnography and pulse oximetry values as technology-supported monitoring to identify respiratory depression and opioid-induced sedation. The secondary objective is to identify capnography and pulse oximetry values that correlate with respiratory decompensation and opioid-induced sedation in medical and trauma patients on the general care floor.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 89 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Design Details

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Hypoventilation
Time Frame: Change from baseline measurement observed within 60 minutes after opioid administration
Continuous respiratory monitoring using capnography will be performed for collecting data of end-tidal carbon dioxide (etCO2)
Change from baseline measurement observed within 60 minutes after opioid administration

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Hypoxemia
Time Frame: Change from baseline measurement observed within 60 minutes after opioid administration
Continuous respiratory monitoring using pulse oximetry will be performed for collecting data of oxygen saturation (SpO2)
Change from baseline measurement observed within 60 minutes after opioid administration

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sedation
Time Frame: Change from baseline assessment observed within 60 minutes after opioid administration
Sedation assessment will be preformed using the Moline-Roberts Pharmacologic Sedation Scale in which sedation levels of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are assessed where increasing numbers represent increasing levels of Sedation and sedation levels 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 indicate unintended opioid-induced sedation for the purpose of this study
Change from baseline assessment observed within 60 minutes after opioid administration
Sedation
Time Frame: Change from baseline assessment observed with 60 minutes after opioid administration
Sedation assessment will be preformed using the Pasero Opioid-Induced Sedation Scale in which sedation levels of S, 1, 2, 3, 4 are assessed where "S" represents normal sleep and increasing numbers represent increasing levels of Sedation and sedation levels 3 or 4 indicate unintended opioid-induced sedation for the purpose of this study
Change from baseline assessment observed with 60 minutes after opioid administration

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
