About this study

Official title: Contionuous Perioperative Hemoglobin and Perfusion Index Measurements in Elderly Patients With Hip Fracture and Post Operative Delirium

The overall aim of the study is to investigate the time difference in the diagnosing of anemia among elderly with hip fracture, between measurements with standard blood samples and non-invasive SpHb-measuring. Another aim is to investigate the relationship between perfusion index and prolong perioperative anemia and the potential impact on perioperative complications.

Read the detailed description

Immediately after admission and diagnosis of a hip fracture the patients will be monitored with Masimo SpHb. The Patients will be continuously measured until the third day after surgery. The Monitors Hb and PI data but not the SpO2% will be blinded to all participating healthcare personnel.The first three postopertive days the patiens will daily be examined to determined it they have developed delirium.

All perioperativ complications in that period will be monitored.

What is being measured

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

  1. Delay in diagnosting perioperative anemia

    Description of lag time between detection of anaemia by SpHb and Hb by blood sampling/transfusion

    Measured: From admission up to and including the 3 postopertive day

  2. Perfusion index, periopertive anemia and delirium

    The relation between average perioperative perfusion index, cumulated perioperative anemia over time and patient outcome in the form of medical complications, mortality, delirium and LOS.

    Measured: From admission up to and including the 3 postopertive day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Perfusion index as a predictor of early warning score (EWS)

    Is there a relationship between low perfusion index an high EWS?

    Measured: From admission up to and including the 3 postopertive day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anemia and Delirium, run by Hvidovre University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 5 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 26 Apr 2017. 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 Denmark. 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?

Delay in diagnosting perioperative anemia (time frame: From admission up to and including the 3 postopertive day). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Apr 2017.
