ARM-ED: Advanced Respiratory Monitoring Events in Drug Toxicity - An Emergency Department Feasibility Study of the Utilisation of a Wearable Device in Patients With Sedative Effects of Drugs
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Pneumowave Device placement and data capture for Respiratory Insufficiency and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 78 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
There is a drug-related death crisis in Scotland. The majority of these deaths have involved the misuse of opiates (e.g. heroin) and benzodiazepines (e.g. valium) which cause an individual to stop breathing. The Advanced Respiratory Monitoring Events in Drug Toxicity (ARM-ED) study is a study investigating whether a wearable sensor can help detect problems with breathing in patients who have had drugs or medications that may cause this effect. The study will span a year and will study two groups of patients - those who attend with actual or expected respiratory depression secondary to acute drug toxicity and individuals who have undergone procedural sedation and analgaesia in the Emergency Department.

Timeline
Interventions
Participants in the acute toxicity group will be studied for a period of time during their Emergency Department attendance or in the case of PSA for the duration of their sedation and recovery period. Usual care will be provided to the patient with additional period with Pneumowave biosensor placed onto chest and data capture for a period of time whilst patient is in the Emergency Department,
