  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a validated sensor that is able to measure how much oxygen-carrying molecules called hemoglobin using pulse hemoglobin and Pleth Variability Index (PVI)] are in your blood during surgery can help your doctors manage how much fluid and possibly blood you need to get during your surgery. The hope of the study is that the device may provide an early indication you are having bleeding and this may mean you need to be treated with a transfusion. Our current method of checking this is by getting a blood sample for analysis. The investigators hope is that this device may be able to alert the clinician of the need for blood or fluids without a blood draw being needed.

Further study details as provided by Loma Linda University:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The difference between hemoglobin values from the two monitors. [ Time Frame: Pulse hemoglobin will be monitored during the surgery from the first arterial blood gas drawn to the last ABG drawn. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The primary outcome measure is the difference between hemoglobin values from the pulse oximetry device and from the arterial blood gas co-oximeter.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Difference between measures compared to patient characteristics [ Time Frame: Start of surgery to end of surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Secondary outcome measures are the size of difference between measures compared to patient characteristics.
