Trial summary

The investigators will evaluate the accuracy of non-invasive hemoglobin monitor (Sp-Hb) compared to traditional laboratory hemoglobin (Lab-Hb) in children with congenital heart disease. The investigators will also compare the accuracy of Sp-Hb in cyanotic children to acyanotic children. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Non-invasive Hemoglobin Monitoring in Children With Congenital Heart Diseases

The investigators will evaluate the accuracy of non-invasive hemoglobin monitor (Sp-Hb) compared to traditional laboratory hemoglobin (Lab-Hb) in children with congenital heart disease. The investigators will also compare the accuracy of Sp-Hb in cyanotic children to acyanotic children.

Read the detailed description

Blood hemoglobin is measured daily in clinical practice. Laboratory measurement (Lab-Hb) of is the gold standard for assessment of blood hemoglobin. Recently, non-invasive monitors had been introduced. Non-invasive measurement of hemoglobin (Sp-Hb) would save time and minimize the risk of infection. Blood sampling in children is usually more difficult and stressful; moreover, it also carries the risk of iatrogenic anemia.

Radical-7 (Masimo corporation, Irvine, CA) is a device that operates using the principle of co-oximetry . Radical-7 had been validated in various clinical purposes. Measurement of blood hemoglobin is an important application for Radical-7 device. Non-invasive hemoglobin (Sp-Hb) measurement has been frequently validated in adults; as well as in pediatric patients; however, its accuracy in children with congenital heart disease was not investigated. Congenital heart disease infants usually undergo major operations and frequently need transfusion of blood. Moreover, these patients have special circulatory physiology that might impact the device accuracy. It had been recently reported that the performance of co-oximetry in congenital heart disease children is poor in measurement of oxygen saturation specially at oxygen saturation under 75%; however, its accuracy in measurement of hemoglobin was not investigated yet. In this study, the investigators will evaluate the accuracy of Sp-Hb compared to traditional Lab-Hb in children with congenital heart disease. the investigators will also compare the accuracy of Sp-Hb in cyanotic children to acyanotic children.

  • radical-7 pulse co-oximeterDevice

    Also called Masimo pulse co-oximeter

    Radical-7 pulse co-oximter will be applied to the patient through a special probe attached the the patient digit to measure blood hemoglobin

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congenital Heart Disease, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 1 Oct 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 Egypt. 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?

non-invasive hemoglobin (time frame: 5 hours). 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 1 Oct 2019.
