Transcutaneous CO2 Monitoring at Home for Children With Neuromuscular Disease

April 10, 2023 updated by: Reshma Amin, The Hospital for Sick Children

The Diagnostic Accuracy and Reliability of Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide Monitoring at Home for Nocturnal Hypoventilation Screening in Children With Neuromuscular Disease

There is an unmet demand for the evaluation of nocturnal hypoventilation in children with NMD. An ambulatory screening tool that can reliably facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment in these children would be invaluable. If an ambulatory, at home, tcCO2 monitoring device is shown to be diagnostically accurate, sleep physicians would be able to triage children on existing waiting lists and optimize screening of nocturnal hypoventilation as recommended by international guidelines.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Transcutaneous CO2 monitoring
Device: Transcutaneous CO2 monitoring
The aim is to assess the accuracy of ambulatory, at home, transcutaneous CO2 monitoring in pediatric Neuromuscular Disease (NMD).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Sensitivity and specificity of ambulatory, at home, transcutaneous CO2 (tcCO2) monitoring to diagnose nocturnal hypoventilation as compared to the gold standard, end tidal CO2 conducted during polysomnogram (PSG).
Time Frame: 9 months
9 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
a) Agreement of tcCO2 monitoring when worn in the ambulatory, at home, setting compared to tcCO2 recorded during a PSG in a hospital based sleep laboratory for diagnosis of nocturnal hypoventilation.
Time Frame: 9 months
b) Correlation of the pre and post sleep capillary blood gas results with end tidal CO2 (etCO2) and tcCO2 recordings during PSG.
9 months
