A smarter mask may spot breathing trouble before it starts
NCT ID NCT06744790
First seen Aug 31, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a new monitoring device, the Linshorn CPRM, which fits into an oxygen mask and tracks breathing and oxygen levels every second. Researchers will compare its predictions with standard monitoring in 320 adults recovering from non-cardiac surgery in the post-anesthesia care unit. The goal is to see if the device can warn nurses earlier when a patient's breathing is about to decline, giving them more time to intervene.
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 Monitor (CPRM), a device that tracks breathing and oxygen levels through a face mask sensor
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could give nurses an early warning system to spot breathing trouble after surgery before it becomes serious, potentially preventing emergencies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it does not test a treatment. The monitor may not prove more accurate than standard care, and results depend on how well it performs in real hospital settings.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
This study will be conducted at The University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) where about 9% of the surgical procedures will go to the ICU or other non-PACU location and 20% will go home same day (within 24 hours). Based on previous trial data from UMMC, investigators expect gender to be \~50% male, 76% white and 23% non-white with an age distribution of 1/3 \< 60 years of age and 2/3 \> 60 years of age. This enrollment criteria makes the study results generalizable; population balanced and supports enrollment.
