Trial summary

This study will further investigate the Masimo SpHb [FDA Approved] continuous non-invasive hemoglobin monitor in spine surgery patients. (See NCT00792597) We will investigate the effect of enhanced circulation to the finger (which will be attached to the sensor) following a local injection (digital block) of lidocaine… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Three Methods of Hemoglobin Monitoring in Patients Undergoing Spine or Hip Surgery

This study will further investigate the Masimo SpHb [FDA Approved] continuous non-invasive hemoglobin monitor in spine surgery patients. (See NCT00792597) We will investigate the effect of enhanced circulation to the finger (which will be attached to the sensor) following a local injection (digital block) of lidocaine (an FDA approved local anesthetic), and assess the accuracy of the SpHb reading as it relates to a standard laboratory hemoglobin value (tHb).

Read the detailed description

We have completed a study with 20 patients using the latest version of the SpHb monitor software and finger sensor.

The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy of the SpHb reading as it relates to a standard laboratory hemoglobin value (tHb) following the digital block.

Conditions
Digital Block
Being tested
Lidocaine digital block, Masimo SpHb continuous hemoglobin monitor

What participants receive

What is being measured

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

  1. Categorical Groups Based on Magnitude of Differences Between Noninvasive (SpHb) and Laboratory Co-Oximeter (tHb) Hemoglobin in Patients With a Finger Regional Anesthetic Block.

    Measured: A minimum of 2-4 differences recorded approximately hourly during surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lidocaine digital block and Masimo SpHb continuous hemoglobin monitor in people with Digital Block, run by University of California, San Francisco at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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 28 May 2012. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Apr 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Categorical Groups Based on Magnitude of Differences Between Noninvasive (SpHb) and Laboratory Co-Oximeter (tHb) Hemoglobin in Patients With a Finger Regional Anesthetic Block. (time frame: A minimum of 2-4 differences recorded approximately hourly during surgery). 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 28 May 2012.
