Trial summary

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… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Pulse Hemoglobin and Pleth Variability Index to Standard Methods of Guiding Intraoperative Fluid and Transfusion Management During Major Surgical Procedures.

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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The difference between hemoglobin values from the two monitors.

    The primary outcome measure is the difference between hemoglobin values from the pulse oximetry device and from the arterial blood gas co-oximeter.

    Measured: Pulse hemoglobin will be monitored during the surgery from the first arterial blood gas drawn to the last ABG drawn.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Difference between measures compared to patient characteristics

    Secondary outcome measures are the size of difference between measures compared to patient characteristics.

    Measured: Start of surgery to end of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anemia and Fluid Management, run by Loma Linda University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

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.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Mar 2019.
