Official title
Comparison of Pulse Hemoglobin and Pleth Variability Index to Standard Methods of Guiding Intraoperative Fluid and Transfusion Management During Major Surgical Procedures.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
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.
