Reliability of a wearable wireless patch for continuous remote monitoring of vital signs in patients recovering from major surgery: a clinical validation study from the TRaCINg trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To validate whether a wearable remote vital signs monitor could accurately measure heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR) and temperature in a postsurgical patient population at high risk of complications.

Design

Manually recorded vital signs data were paired with vital signs data derived from the remote monitor set in patients participating in the Trial of Remote versus Continuous INtermittent monitoring (TRaCINg) study: a trial of continuous remote vital signs monitoring.

Setting

St James's University Hospital, UK.

Participants

51 patients who had undergone major elective general surgery.

Interventions

The intervention was the SensiumVitals monitoring system. This is a wireless patch worn on the patient's chest that measures HR, RR and temper
