The Preliminary Results of the PRODIGY Study

Greg Spratt

Preliminary results from the PRODIGY study were presented at the Society for Critical Care Medicine’s conference and received SCCM’s Star Award for outstanding research. Final analysis of the data showed that 46% of the 1496 hospitalized surgical/medical general care floor patients receiving opioids had one or more episodes of significant abnormalities in end-tidal CO2, SpO2, or respiratory rate lasting 3 minutes or longer, or apneas greater than 30 seconds. Monitor data was reviewed by a 4-physician expert panel for confirmation to remove potential monitor artifact.¹

In addition, investigators created an easy-to-use risk prediction tool which identifies patients at higher risk who are most likely to benefit from continuous monitoring.¹
