J Clin Monit ComputPublished Pilot study

Authors' conclusion

In conclusion, this is the first study on continuous postoperative surveillance using the Isansys Patient Status Engine™ monitoring device for LRYGB patients.

Study context

Population
Patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux-En-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB), monitored during hospital staymean BMI 41.5 ± 4.4 kg/m²
Participants
13 patients
Comparison
Standard vs Continuous
Outcome
Agreement of device vs nursing vital signs (HR, SpO2, body temperature)

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

HR: median, standard vs continuous, bpm

p = 0.995

SpO2: mean, standard vs continuous, %

94.7 ± 2.0 vs. 93.7 ± 1.8

p = 0,057

Body temperature: median, nursing vs device, °C; tendency for lower measurements by the device

36.3 [36.1-36.7] vs. 36.1 [34.5-36.6]

p = 0.012
