Automated Respiration Rate to Improve Accuracy of the Electronic Cardiac Arrest Risk Triage Score (eCART) Algorithm

Completed

Conditions studied: Heart Arrest

In brief

Currently, breathing rate and heart rate are checked by nursing staff manually every few hours and entered into a patient's medical record. The investigators are doing this study to see if a device that will automatically record breathing rate and heart rate every 15 minutes is as accurate as the manual measurement. The investigators will also see if these measurements, taken every 15 minutes, will help us predict adverse events more quickly and accurately than the measurements taken every few hours.
