ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new device called the P1, which is designed to quickly measure electrolytes—important minerals in the body that help with various functions, especially in emergency situations. The goal is to see how well the P1 device works compared to an established device called the Nova Stat Profile pHOx Ultra Analyzer. Researchers will look at how consistent the results are between the two devices when measuring electrolytes in patients who are being treated in the emergency department. They will also check for abnormal levels of magnesium, which can be important for heart and muscle function.

To participate in the trial, patients aged 28 and older who are scheduled to have electrolyte testing in the emergency department or intensive care unit may be eligible. However, those with certain infectious diseases or other specific conditions might not be included. If someone joins the study, they can expect to have their electrolyte levels measured using both the P1 and Nova devices at the same time during their emergency care. This research could help determine if the P1 device can be a helpful alternative for quick electrolyte testing in emergencies.
