About this study

Official title: Validation of Non-invasive Hb-measurement (SpHb) in Children With the Masimo@ Radical 7

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the value of the new technique of non-invasive measurement of Hb in children undergoing a surgical procedure.

Read the detailed description

Several surgical procedures require haemoglobin monitoring due to possible blood loss and the need of blood transfusion. The standard for monitoring hemoglobin (Hb) is the measurement of blood samples. The novel technique of non-invasive continuous measurement of Hb using Pulse CO-Oximetry may allow measuring Hb without obtaining blood samples.

This new technique has not been tested yet in children undergoing anesthesia for elective surgical procedures. In this study the investigators compare the non-invasive Hb measurement with Masimo® technology (SpHb) with the standard Hb measurement using ABL-800 Flex (BGA) and Siemens Advia (labHb, reference method) before the children undergo the surgical procedure.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • non-invasive measurement of HbDevice

    Also called SpHb (®) by Masimo ® Radical 7

  • taking blood samplesProcedure or surgery

    Also called blood for BGA (ABL 800), blood for laboratory Hb (Siemens Advia)

What is being measured

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

  1. correlation between SpHb(®) and the Hb measured by the ABL800Flex and the Siemens Advia

    Measured: one day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. influence of inhalation anesthetics

    The blood samples are taken from the needle infusion set the child gets for anesthesia. Some children will need an inhalational induction of anesthesia before they can get the needle and the sensor for the SpHb (®) monitoring. So an influence of the application of inhalation anesthetics on the accuracy of the SpHb (®) will be tested.

    Measured: one day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing non-invasive measurement of Hb and taking blood samples in people with Non-invasive Hb Measurement in Children, run by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz at 1 site in Germany.

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 7 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 26 Mar 2014. 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 Germany. 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?

correlation between SpHb(®) and the Hb measured by the ABL800Flex and the Siemens Advia (time frame: one day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01693016, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Mar 2014.
