Study Comparing Non-Invasive Measurement of Hemoglobin (Using Pulse Co-Oximetry) With Laboratory Measurement in Patients Undergoing Elective Cesarean Delivery
We aim to assess a new pulse oximeter which measures continuous hemoglobin concentration
(SpHb) in healthy patients undergoing elective Cesarean delivery (CS). This patient
population often experiences significant blood loss during surgery, and measurements of
surgical blood loss are often inaccurate. We will compare measurements of SpHb with
estimated blood loss during the perioperative period, and laboratory measurements of
hemoglobin at set time intervals during the perioperative and postoperative periods (to
evaluate the accuracy of this device's ability to measure continuous SpHb).
We hope that this pulse oximeter will provide important new information (SpHb) about
hemoglobin measurement in patients undergoing elective CS, who may often experience
significant blood loss and postpartum anemia in the perioperative period. The measurement of
perioperative blood loss is often inaccurate, and formal measurements of hemoglobin levels
are often associated with time delays, especially in the setting of ongoing acute blood
loss. We hope that this device will provide accurate continuous data of hemoglobin in this
patient population, which may prove to be a significant advance in patient monitoring in
this patient population. Probes for SpHb measurement will be provided by Masimo Corporation.
