ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new device that can measure the levels of carbon dioxide in your breath while you're being transported by ambulance to the hospital. The goal is to see if this device can help paramedics monitor your health better and start treatment sooner. If you are chosen to participate, you will be part of a project aiming to improve how patients are monitored during ambulance rides, which could lead to better care in emergency situations.

To be eligible for this trial, you need to be between 18 and 84 years old. This includes healthy volunteers and patients who are being taken to the hospital by ambulance. However, if you are in a critical condition, need extra oxygen, are pregnant, or cannot provide consent, you won't be able to participate. If you join, you can expect to have your carbon dioxide levels monitored along with other usual checks like blood pressure and pulse during your ambulance ride. This research has been approved by an ethical review board to ensure that it's safe and appropriate for participants.
