Purpose
A randomized controlled trial compared the clinical outcomes of transported pediatric patients monitored with an oscillometric blood pressure device versus those monitored with a near-continuous, noninvasive blood pressure.
| Condition | Intervention |

|
Pediatric Patients With SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) |
Device: Continuous blood pressure monitoring using (Dinamap) standard oscillometric blood pressure device Device: Standard of care blood pressure monitoring |
| Study Type: | Interventional |
| Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Double Blind (Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) Primary Purpose: Treatment |
| Official Title: | Near-Continuous, Noninvasive Blood Pressure Monitoring to Improve Outcomes in Pediatric Transport |
- The Difference in Hospital Length of Stay Between Those Who Received Continuous Blood Pressure Monitoring and Those Who Received Standard of Care [ Time Frame: Up to two weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]This is the total number of participants analyzed for the intervention group and the total number of participants analyzed for the control group and the total number of days that each group was analyzed overall.
- Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Length of Stay [ Time Frame: Up to two weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Total Number of Organ Failure Days (Multiple Organ Dysfunction) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)for the Control Group and Total Number of Organ Failure Days for the Intervention Group. Multiple Organ Dysfunction is Defined as Multiple Organ Failure. [ Time Frame: Up to two weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Total number of organ failure days is for each group as a whole.
- Mean Daily Score Using the Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System (TISS-28) Scale. [ Time Frame: Up to two weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System (TISS-28) is an illness severity score for the ICU. The TISS score can range from zero up to 78. The higher the score is, the more severe the illness. The TISS-28 scale measures the severity of a patient's illness.
- Amount of Intravenous Fluid Resuscitation [ Time Frame: At start of inter-facility transport, then every 15 minutes until arrival. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

| Arms | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|
|
Active Comparator: Continuous Blood Pressure Monitoring
Patients received continuous blood pressure monitoring the entire time they were in med flight to the hospital.
|
Device: Continuous blood pressure monitoring using (Dinamap) standard oscillometric blood pressure device
Continuous blood pressure monitoring of patients during med flight to hospital
|
|
Placebo Comparator: Standard of care blood pressure monitoring
Patients received the normal standard of care for blood pressure monitoring during the course of the med flight to the hospital.
|
Device: Standard of care blood pressure monitoring
Patients received the standard of care for blood pressure monitoring while en route to the hospital via med flight.

Detailed Description:
94 transported patients were randomized to a control arm, monitored with a standard oscillometric blood pressure device (Dinamap), or an experimental arm, monitored with a near-continuous, noninvasive blood pressure device (Vasotrac).
