A Longitudinal Observational Study to Investigate the Patterns of Change in the Tidal Breathing CO2 Waveform, Measured Using the N-Tidal C Handset, in Patients With COPD Compared to Patients With Other Common Cardiorespiratory Conditions
In Brief
An observational study evaluating N-Tidal C handset for COPD and 9 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 744 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study uses a new breathing device called 'N-Tidal C' handset which measures breathing patterns. Investigators have found that people with cardiac and respiratory illnesses breathe out a gas, called carbon dioxide (CO2), in a different way to healthy people. The pattern of breathed out CO2 (the waveform) varies according to the underlying health of the user's lungs. Monitoring these changes may help doctors to more accurately diagnose and monitor the most common and serious respiratory conditions.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants are to use the 'N-Tidal C' handset every day for 14 days. This will ideally be two times a day (once in the morning and once in the evening, before using any regular inhalers). Each breath record requires the participant to breathe through the mouthpiece for 75 seconds in a relaxed manner.
