Effectiveness of Multimedia Exposure in Patients Transferred to Hospital Suffering From Acute Myocardial Infarction

July 27, 2023 updated by: Sergio Cazorla Calderon, University of Cadiz

Effectiveness of Multimedia Content Exposure in Improving the Experience and Reported Patient Outcomes in Patients Suffering From Acute Mycardial Infarction During the Transfer to Hospital: a Clinical Trial.

Randomised clinical trial, single-center, blinded assessment, controlled with standard practice with two-group parallel design.

Eligible patients are those assisted and transferred suffering from ST-Elevation myocardial infarction in an Advanced Life Support ambulance from an public Emergency Medical Service in the Cadiz area (Spain).

Experimental group will watch an ad hoc design multimedia content in a tablet (video with sound and subtitles) during the transfer and control group will be assisted as standard procedures.

Main outcome variables will be conformed by patient reported outcomes (anxiety State, pain and comfort) and patient experience (transfer experience).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Not yet recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Due to intrinsic characteristics of ambulance transport raises stress or anxiety in patients. Moreover, other outcomes such as pain and some specific vital signs are affected. In the last years, empowerment patient strategies have been launched in several clinical settings but none in the ER field.

Main objective Comparative assessment of the effectiveness of multimedia exposure vs standard clinical procedures to improve the experience and patient reported outcomes in patients suffering from ST-Elevation myocardial infarction transferred to hospital in an Advanced Life Support ambulance for a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods Randomised clinical trial, single-center, blinded assessment, controlled with usual practice with two-group parallel design.

Eligible patients are those assisted and transferred suffering from STEMI in an Advance Life Support (ALS) ambulance from public Emergency Medical System in the Cadiz region.

Experimental group will watch multimedia content on a tablet (movie or image with sound) ad hoc designed, control group will be assisted as usual procedures.

Main outcomes will be conformed by informed patient results (anxiety State, pain and comfort) and patient experience (transfer experience).

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.
