About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Automatized and the Optimized Carbon Monoxid Rebreathing Protocol Determining Hemoglobinmass With Capillary and Venous Blood Sampling

The aim of this study is the comparison of two measurement protocols determining hemoglobin mass with two different blood sampling strategies.Both protocols are based on the principle of the carbonmonoxid (CO) rebreathing method. During this measurement, CO is inhaled for a specific time period by the subject in a closed circuit and it is used as a marker to tag circulating hemoglobin.

Read the detailed description

The optimized CO rebreathing protocol (oCO) will be compared against the automatized CO rebreathing protocol (aCO). Although theses two protocols using the same method, they show some relevant differences.

The oCO use a 2 minutes rebreathing period in a seated position and capillary blood is taken. The aCO use a 10 minutes rebreathing period in a supine position and venous blood samples are taken.

It is essential to know to what extent the aCO with capillary or venous blood sampling with different rebreathing time and position compared to oCO will influence the provided hemoglobin mass values. It is important to ensure the comparability of formely hemoglobinmass data measured using oCO with hemoglobinmass data measured using aCO for scientific research.

What participants receive

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

  • Automatized carbonmonoxide rebreathing machine - OpCO Detalo instrumentsDevice

    The automatized protocol (aCO) will be conducted with automated system OpCO of Detalo instruments. The intended use of the OpCO Detalo instrument is to quantify hemoglobin mass in human. The principle behind the machine is the widely used CO rebreathing technique. The machine applies automatically the desired CO dose to the patient to determine hemoglobin mass. The Detalo Instruments OpCO is certified conform to the following CE norms: Electromagentic compabilitiy: DIN EN 60601-1-2 and electrical Safety test: LVD 2014/35/EU.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of two CO rebreathing protocols (aCO and oCO)

    The aim is to assess the confidence interval of aCO with a ten min rebreathing period in supine position compared to oCO with a two min seated rebreathing period. The mean difference in hemoglobin mass will be determined, using the aCO and oCO.

    Measured: During data collection (3 months)

  2. Comparison of capillary and venous bloodsampling

    The aim is to compare capillary and venous blood samples collected simultaneously during aCO. The goal is to determine, if the site of blood sampling alters the measured carboxy-hemoglobin and hence the calculated hemoglobin mass.

    The outcome will be the confidence interval of mean difference measured with capillary and venous blood sampling.

    Measured: During data collection (3 months)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Reliability of aCO and oCO

    The aim is the determination of the reliability of aCO and oCO by implementing double measurements for both protocols. The coefficient of variation (CV) of hemoglobin mass measured for aCO and oCO will be a further outcome of the study.

    Measured: During data collection (3 months)
