Thoracoabdominal Asynchrony and Respiratory Distress
Validation of a Non-Invasive Device for Thoracoabdominal Asynchrony-Based Respiratory Effort Assessment in Pediatric Patients
Massachusetts General Hospital
20 participants
Oct 16, 2020
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The investigators hypothesize that a simple 3-point tracking device that uses motion sensors attached to the abdomen and chest of a child will provide information regarding thoracoabdominal asynchrony (TAA), a major component of respiratory distress, and ultimately help guide a clinician to initiate, escalate, de-escalate, or stop respiratory support interventions. AIMS To determine if the TAA-monitoring device can be used to detect differences in respiratory synchrony in a manner that is clinically applicable. The investigators hope that the device will detect 1) major asynchrony events in a timely manner so as to prompt clinician intervention during future use; and 2) asynchrony events that may be less visible to the naked eye that may be precursors to more severe events.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- patients 28-days to 17-years of age
- who have respiratory distress and those who do not have respiratory distress
Exclusion Criteria1
- Hardware, clinical care, or dermal injury that would preclude the application of TAA device
