NERv's Inline Device for Postoperative Complications
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new device called NERv's Inline Device to determine if it safely tracks changes in certain body signals after abdominal surgery. The device measures changes in pH levels and electrical conductivity to identify potential complications, such as leaks, during recovery. If successful, the device could alert doctors to possible issues after surgery. Individuals who have undergone abdominal surgery and have a drain connected may be suitable candidates for this trial. As a Phase 2 trial, this research aims to assess the device's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group, allowing participants to contribute to innovative healthcare solutions.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
What prior data suggests that NERv's Inline Device is safe for postoperative patients?
Research shows that NERv's Inline Device undergoes testing to ensure its safety for people. As this trial is in the early stages of human testing, safety remains the primary focus. Although specific data from past studies is unavailable, the current trial indicates the device has shown promise in earlier safety evaluations.
Early trials like this closely monitor for any side effects or unexpected reactions. The device monitors changes in pH and electrical conductivity after surgery, aiding in the early detection of complications. The goal is to ensure the device does not harm patients. Any side effects will be carefully recorded and addressed.
Overall, while more data is needed to confirm safety, the trial phase suggests that NERv's Inline Device is considered safe enough for further testing.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Unlike the standard care options for postoperative complications, which often involve monitoring and managing symptoms as they arise, NERv's Inline Device offers a proactive approach by directly attaching to a patient's peritoneal drain after abdominal surgery. This device is designed to detect early signs of complications, such as leaks or infections, before they become severe. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it could significantly reduce recovery time and improve patient outcomes by enabling quicker intervention compared to traditional methods.
What evidence suggests that NERv's Inline Device is effective for detecting postoperative complications?
Research has shown that NERv's Inline Device could be a helpful tool for detecting problems after surgery. It monitors changes in the body's pH levels and electrical signals, which can indicate issues such as an anastomotic leak—a serious condition where a connection inside the body leaks. Early evidence suggests that this device might help doctors identify problems sooner, potentially improving patient care after surgery. This is especially useful for surgeries involving the colon, liver, and other abdominal areas. Participants in this trial will have NERv's Inline Device attached to their peritoneal drain after abdominal surgery to evaluate its effectiveness.16789
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults over 18 who've had abdominal surgery and have a peritoneal drain like a Jackson Pratt. Participants must follow the study rules and sign a consent form. It's not for those with incompatible drains, leaving the hospital within 8 hours post-surgery, involved in planning this study, or in another interfering study.Inclusion Criteria
