About this study

This study investigates the correlation between noninvasive hemoglobin monitoring (SpHb) and invasive hemoglobin measurement (InvHb) in guiding blood transfusions during thoracic surgeries.

Methods: A non-interventional design was used to evaluate the relationship between SpHb and InvHb readings in the context of transfusion decisions. Data were obtained from 80 patients aged 18 years or older undergoing thoracic procedures. Continuous SpHb monitoring was performed, and concurrent InvHb samples were collected for comparison. The primary endpoint was the degree of correlation between SpHb and InvHb values.

What participants receive

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

  • continuous noninvasive hemoglobin monitoringDiagnostic test

    noninvasive hemoglobin monitoring, Rainbow® Adult ReSposable™ sensors (Rev E) were placed on either the ring or middle fingertip of each participant and connected to a Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter (SET version 7601; Masimo Corp., Irvine, CA).

What is being measured

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

  1. the correlation between continuous hemoglobin and inasive hemoglubin at the preoperative period

    continuous hemoglobin % monitoring, Rainbow adult ReSposable™ sensors (rev E) were attached to the ring or middle fingertip of each subject and connected to a Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter (SET version 7601; Masimo Corporation, Irvine, CA).

    invasive hemoglubin % monitoring, Blood samples were collected and analyzed using a satellite blood analyzer (Gem Premier 4000)

    Measured: 6 Hours

  2. the correlation between continuous hemoglobin and inasive hemoglubin 1 hour after start of surgery

    continuous hemoglobin % monitoring, Rainbow adult ReSposable™ sensors (rev E) were attached to the ring or middle fingertip of each subject and connected to a Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter (SET version 7601; Masimo Corporation, Irvine, CA).

    invasive hemoglubin % monitoring, Blood samples were collected and analyzed using a satellite blood analyzer (Gem Premier 4000)

    Measured: 6 Hours

  3. the correlation between continuous hemoglobin and inasive hemoglubin 2 hours after start of surgery

    continuous hemoglobin % monitoring, Rainbow adult ReSposable™ sensors (rev E) were attached to the ring or middle fingertip of each subject and connected to a Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter (SET version 7601; Masimo Corporation, Irvine, CA).

    invasive hemoglubin % monitoring, Blood samples were collected and analyzed using a satellite blood analyzer (Gem Premier 4000)

    Measured: 6 Hours

  4. the correlation between continuous hemoglobin and inasive hemoglubin 3 hours after start of surgery

    continuous hemoglobin % monitoring, Rainbow adult ReSposable™ sensors (rev E) were attached to the ring or middle fingertip of each subject and connected to a Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter (SET version 7601; Masimo Corporation, Irvine, CA).

    invasive hemoglubin % monitoring, Blood samples were collected and analyzed using a satellite blood analyzer (Gem Premier 4000)

    Measured: 6 Hours

  5. the correlation between continuous hemoglobin and inasive hemoglubin 4 hours after start of surgery

    continuous hemoglobin % monitoring, Rainbow adult ReSposable™ sensors (rev E) were attached to the ring or middle fingertip of each subject and connected to a Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter (SET version 7601; Masimo Corporation, Irvine, CA).

    invasive hemoglubin % monitoring, Blood samples were collected and analyzed using a satellite blood analyzer (Gem Premier 4000)

    Measured: 6 Hours

  6. the correlation between continuous hemoglobin and inasive hemoglubin at the end of surgery

    continuous hemoglobin % monitoring, Rainbow adult ReSposable™ sensors (rev E) were attached to the ring or middle fingertip of each subject and connected to a Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter (SET version 7601; Masimo Corporation, Irvine, CA).

    invasive hemoglubin % monitoring, Blood samples were collected and analyzed using a satellite blood analyzer (Gem Premier 4000)

    Measured: 6 Hours

  7. the correlation between continuous hemoglobin and inasive hemoglubin after recovery of the patient

    continuous hemoglobin % monitoring, Rainbow adult ReSposable™ sensors (rev E) were attached to the ring or middle fingertip of each subject and connected to a Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter (SET version 7601; Masimo Corporation, Irvine, CA).

    invasive hemoglubin % monitoring, Blood samples were collected and analyzed using a satellite blood analyzer (Gem Premier 4000)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thoracic Anesthesia, run by Tanta University at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.

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 2 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 22 Aug 2025. 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 Saudi Arabia. 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?

the correlation between continuous hemoglobin and inasive hemoglubin at the preoperative period (time frame: 6 Hours). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07135492, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Aug 2025.
