Trial Outcomes & Findings for Hypotension Prediction Index to Predict Epidural-labor Analgesia Induced Hypotension (NCT NCT05906368)

NCT ID: NCT05906368

Last Updated: 2025-11-04

Results Overview

Clinical nurse reports of satisfaction of use of ClearSight device. This outcome will be measured on a Likert Scale (0-4) with the options being: 0-Completely Disagree, 1-Disagree, 2-Neither agree nor disagree, 3-Agree, 4-Completely Agree. Outcome measure will be reported as count of participant's responses per category. For this scale, the objective was to obtain agreeable response feedback (score of 3 or 4). The specific question to measure ease of use by clinical staff was: "The ClearSight blood pressure monitoring device meets my approval."

Measure
Conventional Care
Patients are wearing both a conventional blood pressure cuff and the ClearSight finger cuff blood pressure monitoring system. Only measures from the conventional blood pressure cuff are sent/received by the clinical staff in the central and local nursing and anesthesia staff areas. The ClearSight monitoring system data is collected but not used by the clinical staff team for hypotensive monitoring. Standard of Care Blood Pressure Monitoring: Blood pressure (BP) monitoring using a conventional arm cuff and inflation after epidural anesthesia as standard procedure. Standard of care blood pressure monitoring includes measurement of blood pressure at the time of epidural test dose delivery, 3-minute cycles of BP monitoring for 30 minutes after epidural placement, and then BP monitoring every 15 minutes per existing clinical standards for at least 4-hours, or until delivery.

Percentage of patients who experience any fetal heart rate deceleration event \[Presence (Yes) or absence (No)\] within 1-hour of epidural placement.

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Conventional Care
n=14 Participants
Patients are wearing both a conventional blood pressure cuff and the ClearSight finger cuff blood pressure monitoring system. Only measures from the conventional blood pressure cuff are sent/received by the clinical staff in the central and local nursing and anesthesia staff areas. The ClearSight monitoring system data is collected but not used by the clinical staff team for hypotensive monitoring. Standard of Care Blood Pressure Monitoring: Blood pressure (BP) monitoring using a conventional arm cuff and inflation after epidural anesthesia as standard procedure. Standard of care blood pressure monitoring includes measurement of blood pressure at the time of epidural test dose delivery, 3-minute cycles of BP monitoring for 30 minutes after epidural placement, and then BP monitoring every 15 minutes per existing clinical standards for at least 4-hours, or until delivery.
ClearSight Monitoring
n=15 Participants
Patients are wearing both a conventional blood pressure cuff and the ClearSight finger cuff blood pressure monitoring system. Measures from BOTH the conventional blood pressure cuff and ClearSight monitoring system are sent/received by the clinical staff in the central and local nursing and anesthesia staff areas. ClearSight monitoring will add additional information regarding hypotensive events for clinical staff to respond to. ClearSight HPI Monitoring system: Continuous blood pressure monitoring for precision hypotensive event response Standard of Care Blood Pressure Monitoring: Blood pressure (BP) monitoring using a conventional arm cuff and inflation after epidural anesthesia as standard procedure. Standard of care blood pressure monitoring includes measurement of blood pressure at the time of epidural test dose delivery, 3-minute cycles of BP monitoring for 30 minutes after epidural placement, and then BP monitoring every 15 minutes per existing clinical standards for at least 4-hours, or until delivery.
