Abstract
BACKGROUND The decision regarding intraoperative transfusion has traditionally been based on hemodynamic instability and estimated blood loss. We performed a systematic review to determine the validity of the oximetry method compared to standard of care for hemoglobin measurement. METHODS A systematic literature review was conducted, and several libraries were searched from inception to March 31,2023. The primary outcome was comparing the mean difference between laboratory-derived hemoglobin and non-invasive, point-of-care hemoglobin measurement. Subgroup analysis included comparing the mean difference in the pediatric population and among female patients. RESULTS A total of 276 studies were identified, and 37 were included. We found that the pooled mean difference varied qualitatively between adult and pediatric population (p value for heterogeneity <0.001). In adult populations, lab hemoglobin measurements were on average slightly higher than non-invasive measurements (mean difference = 0.23; 95% CI -0.13, 0.59), though there was greater heterogeneity across studies (I2 = 97%, p value = <0.001). In the pediatric population, most studies showed lab hemoglobin to be slightly lower (mean difference = -0.42; 95% CI -0.87 to 0.03). CONCLUSIONS In general, there was no clinically significant difference in mean hemoglobin among adult and pediatric populations. The percentage of female participants had no effect on the mean difference in hemoglobin.

Comparing Non-Invasive Spectrophotometry to Hematology Analysis for Hemoglobin Measurements in Sickle Cell Disease Patients. J Clin Med 2023; 12:7517. [PMID: 38137588 PMCID: PMC10744205 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12247517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) require repeated blood sampling for hemoglobin (Hb) concentration measurements. The primary aim of this study was to compare non-invasive spectrophotometric hemoglobin (SpHb, g/dL) measurements to those taken via an automated hematology analyzer (Hb, g/dL) in patients with SCD visiting outpatient clinics and to investigate the correlations and agreements between both measurement techniques. Secondarily, we aimed to identify the SpHb cut-off concentration for the diagnosis of anemia and to monitor the effects of the pleth variability index (PVI, %) and perfusion index (PI) on SpHb measurements. The results gained from the examination of one hundred and fifty-eight patients indicated that the SpHb measurements overestimated the lab Hb concentrations, with a mean (SpHb-Hb) bias of 0.82 g/dL (SD 1.29). The SpHb measurements were positively correlated with the Hb measurements (Kendall's tau correlation (τ), n = 158, τ = 0.68, p < 0.001), with an intra-class correlation (ICC) of 0.67 and a 95% CI from 0.57 to 0.74 (p = 0.000). The SpHb cut-off concentration to diagnose anemia was 11.4 and 11.7 g/dL for males and females, respectively. SpHb sensitivity was low for males and females at 64.4% and 57.1%; however, the specificity was higher at 90.9% and 75%, with positive predictive values (PPVs) of 95.6 and 85.7, respectively. No correlation existed between SpHb measurements and the PVI (%) in contrast with a moderate correlation with the PI (r = 0.049, p = 0.54, and r = 0.36, p < 0.001, respectively). The mean PI was low at 2.52 ± 1.7. In conclusion, the SpHb measurements were consistently higher than the lab Hb concentrations, with a positive correlation. The sensitivity and precision of the SpHb measurements were lower than expected. However, the SpHb specificity and its positive predictive values (PPVs) indicated that it is less likely for a patient with a positive SpHb test result for anemia to be non-anemic. These results will allow SpHb measurement to play a role in excluding the presence of anemia. In light of the low PI values determined, the SpHb measurements were challenging to take and, thus, require further technological improvements.

Can Non-Invasive Spectrophotometric Hemoglobin Replace Laboratory Hemoglobin Concentrations for Preoperative Anemia Screening? A Diagnostic Test Accuracy Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:5733. [PMID: 37685800 PMCID: PMC10488634 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12175733] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Preoperative assessment of hemoglobin concentration in blood is important to diagnose anemia. The primary aim of this prospective diagnostic test accuracy study was to monitor non-invasive spectrophotometric hemoglobin (SpHb, g/dL) concentrations among adults prior to elective surgery and to investigate the correlation and agreement of SpHb with laboratory hemoglobin (Hb, g/dl). A secondary aim was to identify the anemia cut-off values for SpHb based on the World Health Organization (WHO) definitions for anemia. This study included 151 consecutive patients (age ≥ 18 year) presenting for preoperative evaluation prior to scheduled elective general or orthopedic surgery. Results identified the mean ± SD of SpHb at 11.43 ± 2.01 g/dL, which underestimated the mean laboratory Hb (12.64 ± 2.29 g/dL, p < 0.001). A bias mean difference (SpHb-Hb) of -1.21 g/dL, with a SD of 1.76, was reported. This bias (SpHb-Hb) was inversely correlated with the mean Hb concentrations. A positive correlation existed between SpHb and Hb, with a good degree of reliability and a significant Intra Class Correlation (ICC). SpHb diagnosed anemia in 32.3% and 60.3% of males and females, respectively. The SpHb cut-off values to identify anemia were 11.3 and 10.2 g/dL for males and females, respectively, with a sensitivity of 83.3% for males and only 62.9% for females. The specificity for males and females were 81% and 91.3%, respectively. SpHb sensitivity allows for anemia diagnosis among males, but not females. However, the specificity allows SpHb to rule out anemia for both.

Abstract
Background Pulse perfusion index (PI) reflects blood perfusion. It has been reported that PI can be used to evaluate the effect of nerve block, but currently, it is mainly focused on awake adults. In pediatric general anesthesia, it has been reported that PI can evaluate the effect of the sacral block. Still, there is a lack of relevant research on the impact of brachial plexus blocks. Our objective is to assess the prediction effects of PI on the success of supraclavicular brachial plexus block in pediatric patients under sevoflurane or propofol general anesthesia. Methods/design This is a mono-center, parallel, 2-arm randomized superiority trial. One hundred four children aged 1 month to 12 years who undergo upper limb surgery will be enrolled in this study. According to anesthesia induction and maintenance medication, they will be divided into sevoflurane and propofol groups. The PI values of the index and little finger will be recorded on the blocked and non-blocked sides of supraclavicular brachial plexus block (SCB) in all children. The primary outcome is to assess the effects of PI on the success of supraclavicular brachial plexus block in pediatric patients under sevoflurane or propofol general anesthesia. The secondary outcome includes mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and correlation between baseline PI and 10 min after SCB (PI ratio). Discussion This trial will provide evidence on the changes in PI after SCB in sevoflurane or propofol anesthesia in children. SCB may lead to changes in PI values under sevoflurane or propofol anesthesia. After the children wake up at the end of the surgery, the changes in PI values on the block side and non-block side may be helpful to judge the effect of nerve block when excluding the influence of anesthetics. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04216823. Registered on 15 July 2020.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hemoglobin (Hb) measurement is one of the most commonly used laboratory tests in medical practice. Unnecessary blood sampling, especially in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), contributes to iatrogenic anemia. Continuous non-invasive monitoring of total Hb (SpHb) was compared with invasive venous blood samples (tHb) in NICU patients. METHODS Three hundred and ten patients were identified in NICU. Non-invasive Hb measurement was performed immediately before venous blood sampling and comparison of invasive with non-invasive values was undertaken. RESULTS There was a strongly positive correlation between SpHb and tHb (r = 0.965, p < 0.001). Bland-Altman analysis was performed in 95% limits of agreement for Hb values measured by both methods. The mean bias between tHb and SpHb measurements was 0.05 g/dl (-1.85 to 1.96). In Passing-Bablok regression analysis, the CUSUM test p value was found to be 0.98 for Hb levels measured by SpHb and tHb; and the difference between the methods was not significant. CONCLUSION In newborns, SpHb method offers reliable Hb values, which are comparable with the more traditional tHb method. Continuous non-invasive monitoring of total Hb may help prevent unnecessary blood sampling and iatrogenic anemia. Further clinical studies are required for the effectiveness of the method in critically ill patients with circulatory disorders.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Reliable, accurate, and non-invasive hemoglobin measurements would be useful in the trauma setting. The aim of this study was to re-examine the ability of the Masimo Radical 7 in this setting after recent hardware and software improvements. METHODS Level 1 Trauma patients were prospectively enrolled in the study over a 9-mo period with the goal of obtaining 3 paired data points from 150 patients admitted to the ICU or IMU. Hospital laboratory hemoglobin values were compared with cyanomethemoglobin (HiCN) and Masimo device hemoglobin (SpHb) values using comparison plots and Bland-Altman analysis. RESULTS A total of 380 patients were enrolled in the study with 150 of those being admitted to the ICU or IMU. Comparison of hospital lab hemoglobin and HiCN (n = 494) found a correlation of R2 = 0.92. Comparison of hospital lab hemoglobin and Masimo device hemoglobin (n = 218) found a correlation of R2 = 0.27. Bland-Altman analysis of the 218 of the comparable hospital hemoglobin and Masimo device hemoglobin values had a bias of 0.505 g/dL with 95% of values within the limits of agreement of 4.06 g/dL to -3.60 g/dL. CONCLUSIONS The Masimo Radical 7 device has the potential to provide timely, useful clinical information, but it is not currently able to serve as an initial noninvasive diagnostic tool for trauma patients. There was poor correlation between clinical Hgb and SpHb, and because of that, SpHb should not be used to evaluate hemoglobin levels in trauma patients.

Abstract
Background. Traditional invasive hemoglobin (Hb) detection led to delayed diagnosis, operational inefficiency, incorrect critical decision making, and uncomfortable patient experience. To facilitate real-time total hemoglobin (tHb) monitoring, a portable prototype of a noninvasive Hb detection system was developed, and the accuracy of Hb predicted based on partial least squares (PLS) as well as backpropagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) models was validated. Results. The prototype was combined with a signal processing circuit and a spectrophotometric probe containing 8 wavelength LEDs light source and photodiode array. Laboratory invasive Hb (Lab_tHb) and spot check Hb measurements with PLS (SpHb_PLS) and BP (SpHb_BP) methods were obtained simultaneously by hematology analyzer and the designed system. The invasive and noninvasive estimates of the Hb levels were analyzed using Spearman correlation as well as Bland–Altman plot and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. A total of 238 volunteers had attempted laboratory invasive and noninvasive spot check Hb measurements. Mean Lab_tHb, SpHb_PLS, and SpHb_BP were 13.6 ± 1.80 g/dL, 13.5 ± 1.07 g/dL, and 13.6 ± 1.06 g/dL, respectively. Noninvasive SpHb_PLS (r = 0.61, p<0.001) and SpHb_BP (r = 0.62, p<0.001) had a strong correlation with invasive tHb values. The Bland–Altman plot showed excellent consistency between the proposed noninvasive methods and laboratory invasive reference. In ROC analysis, PLS and BP models were good at predicting Hb ≥ 12 g/dL with area under the curve of 0.828 and 0.824, respectively. Observed differences between invasive and noninvasive Hb measurements displayed no significant correlation with perfusion index values. Conclusions. The result confirmed that noninvasive Hb monitoring had an excellent correlation with traditional invasive Hb measurement. Furthermore, it is suggested that the developed prototype has the potential for the noninvasive detection of Hb concentration with the methods of PLS and BP-ANN.

Abstract
Background Obstetric patients with placenta previa are at risk for sever peripartum hemorrhage. Early detection of anemia and proper transfusion strategy are important for the management of obstetric hemorrhage. In this study, we assessed the utility and accuracy of noninvasive hemoglobin (SpHb) monitoring in patients with placenta previa during cesarean section. Methods Parturients diagnosed with placenta previa and scheduled for cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were enrolled. SpHb and laboratory Hb (Lab-Hb) were measured during surgery as primary outcomes. Results Seventy-four pairs of SpHb and Lab-Hb were collected from 39 patients. The correlation coefficient was 0.877 between SpHb and Lab-Hb (P < 0.001). The Bland–Altman plot showed a mean difference ± SD of 0.3 ± 0.8 g/dl between noninvasive Hb and Lab-Hb, and the limits of agreement were −1.2 to 1.8 g/dl. The magnitude of the difference between SpHb and Lab-Hb was < 0.5 g/dl in 64.9%; however, it was > 1.5 g/dl in 10.8%. Conclusions SpHb monitoring had a good correlation with Lab-Hb. A small mean difference between SpHb and lab-Hb might not be clinically significant; however, the limits of agreements were not narrow. In particular, SpHb could be overestimated in the anemic population. Based on our results, further studies investigating the accuracy and precision of SpHb monitoring should be performed in parturients presenting Hb below 10 g/dl.

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
Noninvasive hemoglobin (Hb)-monitoring devices are new inventions in pulse oximeter systems that show hemoglobin levels continuously. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the accuracy and precision of noninvasive versus standard central laboratory Hb measurements in the operating room. We systematically searched multiple databases. Then, for the quality assessment of studies, we modified QUADAS-2 in the Revman 5.3 software. The GRADE approach was used to measure the quality of evidence (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation). Data were analyzed using the meta-analysis method (random effect model) using STATA 11 software. A total of 28 studies on 2000 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis results of mean differences between noninvasive and the central laboratory Hb measurements in overall pooled random effects were - 0.27 (95% LoA (0.44, - 0.10); P value < 0.05). According to this meta-analysis, noninvasive hemoglobin measurement has acceptable accuracy in comparison with the standard invasive method.

Abstract
Background Supraclavicular nerve block is a popular approach for anaesthesia for upper limb surgeries. Conventional methods for evaluation of block success are time consuming and need patient cooperation. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the perfusion index (PI) can be used to predict and provide a cut-off value for ultrasound-guided supraclavicular nerve block success. Methods The study included 77 patients undergoing elective orthopaedic procedures under ultrasound-guided supraclavicular nerve block. After local anaesthetic injection, sensory block success was assessed every 3 min by pinprick, and motor block success was assessed every 5 min by the ability to flex the elbow and the hand against resistance. The PI was recorded at baseline and at 10, 20, and 30 min after anaesthetic injection in both blocked and non-blocked limbs. The PI ratio was calculated as the PI after 10 min divided by the PI at the baseline. Receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed for the accuracy of the PI in detection of block success. Results The PI was higher in the blocked limb at all time points, and this was paralleled by a higher PI ratio compared with the unblocked limb. Both the PI and the PI ratio at 10 min after injection showed a sensitivity and specificity of 100% for block success at cut-off values of 3.3 and 1.4, respectively. Conclusions The PI is a useful tool for evaluation of successful supraclavicular nerve block. A PI ratio of > 1.4 is a good predictor for block success.

Peripheral perfusion index does not accurately reflect hypoperfusion in healthy dogs undergoing elective ovariohysterectomy. Vet J 2018; 240:27-30. [PMID: 30268329 DOI: 10.1016/j.tvjl.2018.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2017] [Revised: 08/28/2018] [Accepted: 09/02/2018] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
This study evaluated the variability of the peripheral perfusion index (PI) in 22 anaesthetised female dogs undergoing elective ovariohysterectomy and examined the relationship between peripheral PI and heart rate, blood pressure, blood pH, end tidal CO2 (EtCO2), O2 saturation (SpO2), core-peripheral temperature gradient (ΔTc-p), partial pressure of CO2 (PCO2), and concentrations of glucose, cortisol, lactate and bicarbonate (HCO3-). Blood pH, lactate and glucose concentrations were determined 15, 30, 45min into the ovariohysterectomy procedure and after extubation. Cortisol concentrations were assessed before anaesthesia and after extubation. Other variables were recorded at every 5min throughout the ovariohysterectomy procedure. Hyperglycaemia was observed in 59% of bitches during surgery, but serum cortisol concentrations remained unchanged. Most measures of perfusion (ΔTc-p, pH, PCO2, EtCO2, SpO2) and heart rate remained unchanged throughout anaesthesia and did not correlate with peripheral PI. Mean arterial pressure increased during the ovariohysterectomy procedure, while peripheral PI decreased, resulting in negative correlations between these variables at 30 and 45min. Lactate concentrations decreased from baseline to the time of measurement post-extubation. Peripheral PI gradually decreased during the ovariohysterectomy procedure, probably reflecting vasoconstriction induced by nociceptive stimuli. Using lactate concentrations as the reference standard for peripheral perfusion, low peripheral PI in healthy bitches undergoing ovariohysterectomy might not represent peripheral hypoperfusion.

Abstract
Pain is a common and undertreated problem in critically ill patients. Pain assessment in critically ill patients is challenging and relies on complex scoring systems. The aim of this work was to find out the possible role of the perfusion index (PI) measured by a pulse oximeter (Masimo Radical 7; Masimo Corp., Irvine, CA, USA) in pain assessment in critically ill patients. A prospective observational study was carried out on 87 sedated non-intubated patients in a surgical intensive care unit. In addition to routine monitoring, a Masimo pulse oximeter probe was used for PI measurement. The sedation level of the patients was assessed by using the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS). The pain intensity was determined by applying the behavioral pain scale for non-intubated (BPS-NI) patients. The PI, arterial blood pressure, heart rate, RASS, and BPS-NI values before and after the application of a standard painful stimulus (changing the patient position) were reported. Correlation between the PI and other variables was carried out at the two measurements. Correlation between changes in the PI (delta PI) and in the hemodynamic variables, RASS, and BPS-NI was also done. Changing the patient position resulted in a significant increase in SBP (128 ± 20 vs 120.4 ± 20.6, P = 0.009), DBP (71.3 ± 11.2 vs 68.7 ± 11.3, P = 0.021), heart rate (99.5 ± 19 vs 92.7 ± 18.2, P = 0.013), and BPS-NI (7[6-8] vs 3[3-3], P < 0.001) values and a significant decrease in the PI (1[0.5-1.9] vs 2.2[0.97-3.6], P < 0.001) value compared to the baseline readings. There was no correlation between the values of the PI and the ABP, BPS-NI, and RASS at the two measurements. A good correlation was found between the delta PI and delta BPS-NI (r = -0.616, P < 0.001). A weak correlation was observed between the PI and heart rate after the patient positioning (r = -0.249, P < 0.02). In surgical critically ill non-intubated patients, the application of a painful stimulus was associated with decreased PI. There was a good correlation between the change in the PI and the change in BPS-NI values after the application of painful stimulus.
