Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE The effect of noninvasive CO-oximetry hemoglobin (SpHb) monitoring on the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing surgery remains unclear. This trial aimed to evaluate whether SpHb monitoring helps maintain hemoglobin levels within a predefined target range during major noncardiac surgeries with a potential risk of intraoperative hemorrhage. DESIGN A single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS One hundred and thirty patients undergoing elective noncardiac surgery with a potential risk of hemorrhage. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomly allocated to undergo either SpHb-guided management (SpHb group) or usual care (control group). MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome was the rate of deviation of the total hemoglobin concentration (determined from laboratory testing) from a pre-specified target range (8-14 g/dL). This was defined as the number of laboratory tests revealing such deviations divided by the total number of laboratory tests performed during the surgery. MAIN RESULTS The primary outcome occurred significantly less frequently in the SpHb group as compared to that in the control group (15/555 [2.7%]) vs. 68/598 [11.4%]; relative risk, 0.24; 95% confidence interval, 0.13-0.41; P < 0.001). Fewer point-of-care blood tests were performed in the SpHb group than in the control group (median [interquartile range], 2 [1-4] vs. 4 [2-5]; P < 0.001). There were no significant intergroup differences in the number of patients who received red blood cell transfusions during surgery (SpHb vs. control, 33.8% vs. 46.2%; P = 0.201). The incidence of unnecessary red blood cell preparation (>2 units) was lower in the SpHb group than in the control group (3.1% vs. 16.9%; P = 0.024). CONCLUSIONS Compared with routine care, SpHb-guided management resulted in significantly lower rates of hemoglobin deviation outside the target range intraoperatively in patients undergoing major noncardiac surgeries with a potential risk of hemorrhage. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier: NCT03816514).

Diagnostic accuracy of point-of-care devices for detection of anemia in community settings in India. BMC Health Serv Res 2020; 20:468. [PMID: 32456639 PMCID: PMC7249358 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-020-05329-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2020] [Accepted: 05/17/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Accurate diagnosis of anemia by community workers using a point-of-care device is a challenge. The objective of the study was to establish the diagnostic accuracy of point-of-care devices for detecting anemia in community settings. Methods It was diagnostic accuracy study with cross-sectional design on adult patients attending the outpatient department of rural/ urban health centres of Medical colleges from India. The index tests were HemoCue, TrueHb, Massimo’s device and spectroscopic device, compared against autoanalyzer (gold standard). Accuracy was expressed by sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios, predictive values, area under the curve (AUC) and levels of agreement. For the diagnostic accuracy component, 1407 participants were recruited with a minimum of 600 for each device. An additional 200 participants were considered to elucidate the performance of devices in different weather conditions. Results HemoCue and TrueHb performed better than Massimo and spectroscopic devices. Detection of anemia by technicians was similar between TrueHb and HemoCue (AUC 0.92 v/s 0.90, p > 0.05). Community workers performed better with Hemocue for detecting anemia compared to TrueHb (AUC 0.92 v/s 0.90, p < 0.05). For detection of severe anemia, accuracy of TrueHb was significantly better with technicians (AUC 0.91 v/s 0.70; p < 0.05) and community workers (AUC 0.91 v/s 0.73; p < 0.05). HemoCue showed a bias or mean difference (95%CI) of 0.47 g/dl (0.42, 0.52) for all values, and 0.92 g/dl (0.82, 1.03) for severe anemia. For TrueHb, it was − 0.28 g/dl (− 0.37, − 0.20) for all readings, and 0.06 g/dl (− 0.52, 0.63) for severe anemia. TrueHb appeared to be more consistent across different weather conditions, although it overestimated Hb in extreme cold weather conditions. Conclusion For detection of anemia, True Hb and HemoCue were comparable. For severe anemia, True Hb seemed to be a better and feasible point-of-care device for detecting anemia in the community settings.

Abstract
This paper describes and compares methods and analyzers used to measure hemoglobin (Hb) in clinical laboratories and field settings. We conducted a literature review for methods used to measure Hb in clinical laboratories and field settings. We described methods to measure Hb and factors influencing results. Automated hematology analyzer (AHA) was reference for all Hb comparisons using evaluation criteria of ±7% set by College of American Pathologists (CAP) and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). Capillary fingerprick blood usually produces higher Hb concentrations compared with venous blood. Individual drops produced lower concentrations than pooled capillary blood. Compared with the AHA: (1) overall cyanmethemoglobin (1.0-8.0 g/L), WHO Colour Scale (0.5-10.0 g/L), paper-based devices (5.0-7.0 g/L), HemoCue® Hb-201 (1.0-16.0 g/L) and Hb-301 (0.5-6.0 g/L), and Masimo Pronto® (0.3-14.0 g/L) overestimated concentrations; (2) Masimo Radical®-7 both under- and overestimated concentrations (0.3-104.0 g/L); and (3) other methods underestimated concentrations (2.0-16.0 g/L). Most mean concentration comparisons varied less than ±7% of the reference. Hb measurements are influenced by several analytical factors. With few exceptions, mean concentration bias was within ±7%, suggesting acceptable performance. Appropriate, high-quality methods in all settings are necessary to ensure the accuracy of Hb measurements.This paper describes and compares methods and analyzers used to measure hemoglobin (Hb) in clinical laboratories and field settings.

Abstract
Point-of-care testing is becoming increasingly relevant to the practice of anaesthesia and critical care medicine, especially in terms of minimisation of sample volumes and decreased time to decision making. We performed a prospective observational study to evaluate a novel, in-line blood gas analysis device against a conventional benchtop model, and assessed it while placing the enrolled patients under extreme physiological conditions, specifically deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Eight patients were studied, and had between seven and 11 samples analysed for seven variables (pH, pCO2 , pO2 , HCO3 (-) , base excess [BE], K(+) and haematocrit [Hct]), using the device during the process of cooling to 20 °C on cardiopulmonary bypass, and subsequent rewarming to normothermia. After Passing-Bablok analysis, the variables were evaluated for bias, limits of agreement and percentage error at above and below 30 °C. Of the measured variables, only pH (percentage error 2.4%) and potassium (19.8%) demonstrated acceptable (< 30%) percentage error over the full range of temperatures measured. Carbon dioxide, when stratified by temperature, was acceptable (< 30 °C percentage error 24.6%, > 30 °C percentage error 9.9%), but the overall percentage error of the dataset (45.8%) was excessively high. Bicarbonate and haematocrit both had an acceptable percentage error above 30 °C (25.2% and 18.5%, respectively), but similar to carbon dioxide, percentage error for the full range of temperatures exceeded 30%. These data differ from previous work examining this device, and highlights the difference between derived measures using different apparatuses when exposed to extreme physiological conditions.

A mini volume loading test (mVLT) using 2.5-mLkg -1 boluses of crystalloid for indication of perioperative changes in hydration status. MEDICINA-LITHUANIA 2016; 52:354-365. [PMID: 27932196 DOI: 10.1016/j.medici.2016.11.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2015] [Revised: 09/20/2016] [Accepted: 11/14/2016] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE A mini volume loading test (mVLT) evaluating hemodilution during step-wise crystalloid infusion has established that the arterio-capillary plasma dilution difference is inversely correlated to the body hydration level of subjects. This observational study aimed to test whether this can be replicated in a perioperative setting using a 2.5-mLkg-1 boluses. MATERIALS AND METHODS The mVLT was performed before induction of regional anesthesia and 24h later. Step-wise infusion implied six mini fluid challenges. These consisted of 2.5-mLkg-1 boluses of Ringer's acetate infused during 2-3min and followed by 5-min periods with no fluids. Invasive (arterial) and noninvasive (capillary) measurements of hemoglobin were performed before and after each mini fluid challenge, as well as after a 20-min period without fluid following the last bolus. Hemoglobins were used to calculate the arterio-capillary plasma dilution difference which is used as an indication of changes in body hydration level. The 24-h fluid balance was calculated. RESULTS Subjects were 69.5 (6.0) years old, their height was 1.62m (1.56-1.65), weight was 87.0kg (75.5-97.5) and body mass index (BMI) was 33.5kg/m2 (31.0-35.1). Preoperative arterio-capillary plasma dilution difference was significantly higher than postoperative (0.085 [0.012-0.141] vs. 0.006 [-0.059 to 0.101], P=0.000). The perioperative 24-h fluid balance was 1976mL (870-2545). CONCLUSIONS The mVLT using 2.5-mLkg-1 boluses of crystalloid was able to detect the higher postoperative body hydration level in total knee arthroplasty patients.

Abstract
Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is a common and lifesaving therapy for anemic neonates and infants, particularly among those born prematurely or undergoing surgery. However, evidence-based indications for when to administer RBCs and adverse effects of RBC transfusion on important outcomes including necrotizing enterocolitis, survival, and long-term neurodevelopmental impairment remain uncertain. In addition, blood-banking practices for preterm and term neonates and infants have been largely developed using studies from older children and adults. Use of and refinements in emerging technologies and advances in biomarker discovery and neonatal-specific RBC transfusion databases may allow clinicians to better define and tailor RBC transfusion needs and practices to individual neonates. Decreasing the need for RBC transfusion and developing neonatal-specific approaches in the preparation of donor RBCs have potential for reducing resource utilization and cost, improving outcomes, and assuring blood safety. Finally, large donor-recipient-linked cohort studies can provide data to better understand the balance of the risks and benefits of RBC transfusion in neonates. These studies may also guide the translation of new research into best practices that can rapidly be integrated into routine care. This review highlights key opportunities in transfusion medicine and neonatology for improving the preparation and transfusion of RBCs into neonates and infants. We focus on timely, currently addressable knowledge gaps that can increase the safety and efficacy of preterm and term neonatal and infant RBC transfusion practices.
