Official title
A Flow Monitor for Pediatric Hydrocephalic Shunts - Bench Study of Sensor Alignment Accuracy and Repeatability
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The study hypothesis is that nurses and doctors can use a transcutaneously powered ultrasonic flow sensor to make repeatable and accurate hydrocephalic shunt flow measurements. The study participants will align the flowmeter probe with a flow sensor hidden under a thick saline pad that simulates skin. A hidden pump will provide a known flow through the flow sensor as the participants make their measurements. Each participant will repeat these measurements over a period of weeks, and the data will tell whether operator skill influences flow measurement accuracy.
