Clinician Assessment of Patient Dyspnea

NCT05319379 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 22

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Background: Dyspnea, like pain, is subjective and challenging to assess despite the large number of patients that report shortness of breath. Several studies have shown that physicians and nurses inaccurately assess patient dyspnea. Since respiratory therapists care for many patients at risk for dyspnea, an evaluation of their abilities to evaluate dyspnea is needed. Thus, the plan is to evaluate respiratory therapists' ability to assess a patient's dyspnea level, in addition to nurses and physicians.

Methods: This is a prospective study to evaluate the agreement between dyspnea assessment by a patient and respiratory therapist, nurses, and physicians. The primary aim of this study will be to evaluate clinician ability to assess a patients dyspnea level. The secondary aim of this study is to identify patient characteristics that might influence clinician ability to assess dyspnea.
