Detecting Systemic Carbon Dioxide Levels With a Novel Biosensor

Detecting Systemic Carbon Dioxide Levels With a Novel Biosensor; The DISCO-study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The study is an open, prospective, single center clinical observational pilot investigation. The aim is to compare the carbon dioxide values measured by the IscAlert sensor, which is inserted in proximity to the nasal mucosa. The study wants to investigate if the nasal mucosa application and measurements are feasible, what kind of possible complications such a measurement can cause, and if the measurements can be a surrogate marker for systemic carbon dioxide values.
