Smart mask alarms may spot breathing trouble before it turns critical
NCT ID NCT07793981
First seen Aug 31, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial tests a new monitoring device, the Linshom CPRM, which fits into an oxygen mask or nasal cannula and alerts nurses when a patient's breathing starts to fail. Researchers will compare standard monitoring plus the Linshom alarm against standard monitoring alone in about 394 adults recovering from non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to see if the alarm system reduces the number and length of respiratory depression events, which can lead to serious complications. Nurses will respond to alarms using standard care procedures, and the trial will measure how often these events occur.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Linshom Continuous Predictive Respiratory Monitoring (CPRM), a device that fits into an oxygen mask or nasal cannula and alerts nurses to breathing problems
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this alarm system could help nurses catch breathing problems earlier after surgery, potentially preventing serious complications like respiratory arrest.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage device trial, and it is unclear if the alarms will reduce events more than standard care. False alarms or staff response delays could limit its benefit.
