Brief Summary: Patients can become critically unwell following surgical operations Delay in recognition of this deterioration can result in patient harm and even death Wearable wireless sensors that record patients vital signs such as heart rate could help improve recognition of patient deterioration The goal of this observational study Enhanced Monitoring Using Sensors After Surgery EMUs is to determine if data from wearable physiological monitors can be used for the early detection of postoperative deterioration while being acceptable to patients and healthcare staff The study participants and surgical inpatients undergoing open surgery There are 3 objectives which each represent a stage of the study

1 To perform usability testing of device with clinicians nurses and healthcare workers in non-clinical environment
2 To determine baseline postoperative monitoring practice across our network and perform device usability testing in clinical environment
3 To perform a shadow-mode cohort study with collection of time-stamped sensor clinical event data to determine relationships between physiological waveforms and patient deterioration

This registration focuses on the shadow-mode cohort study

Participants will wear wireless sensors on their chest and fingers pre- intra- and post-operatively for up to 10 days The sensors will record their vital signs such as heart rate and oxygen levels This will then be analysed and used to aid the design of early detection algorithms that may be able to predict clinical illness or complications in this patient group This is an observational study gathering real time data only No changes in patient care will result and in Stages 2 and 3 no sensor data will be available to clinical teams This study will be performed in departments of general surgery in Benin Ghana Guatemala India Mexico Nigeria Rwanda and the United Kingdom
Detailed Description: Patients who die after surgery frequently have treatable complications which are not identified in a timely manner This is due to a failure to recognize relay or react to the deterioration of a patient in the postoperative period This study aims to determine whether data from wearable physiological monitors can be used for the early detection of patient deterioration while being acceptable to patients and healthcare staff If found useful future studies would be conducted to determine the performance and safety of such a device

This study has three objectives which will be addressed in three stages

STAGE 1 Usability testing of device with clinicians nurses and healthcare workers in non-clinical environment

STAGE 2 Baseline postoperative monitoring practice assessment and device usability testing in clinical environment

STAGE 3 Shadow-mode cohort study with collection of time-stamped sensor and clinical event data to determine relationships between physiological waveforms and patient deterioration

This registration focuses on the shadow-mode cohort study

This study will be performed in departments of general surgery in Benin Ghana Guatemala India Mexico Nigeria Rwanda and the UK In Stages 2 and 3 patients will have undergone major surgery and will be recovering in postoperative wards

This study can be performed using any suitable wearable device it is device agnostic as it seeks to gather generalisable information In the first instance the Sibel ANNE One device will be used ANNE One is a wireless ICU-grade dual sensor system that provides real-time physiological monitoring The system features two skin-mounted bio-integrated sensors that provide continuous storage of vital sign measurements and physiological waveforms

This is an observational study gathering real time data only No changes in patient care will result and in Stages 2 and 3 no sensor data will be available to clinical teams True equipoise exists it is not clear whether these data are useful or how they should be used Patients will be managed with standard care throughout

Wearable sensors have potential application in improving postoperative monitoring and consequently the reduction of avoidable morbidity and mortality Sensor data may be used to generate prediction algorithms providing a continuous readout of individual patient risk Such algorithms could enhance healthcare workers capacity to identify and intervene upon patients with early complications However few high-quality studies have yet been performed in this area
