Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The measurement of blood hemoglobin (Hb) concentration is a routine procedure in pregnant women. The assessment of Hb involves several steps, including a needle stick, blood collection, blood sample analysis in the laboratory, and waiting for the results.

Pronto-7 (manufactured by Masimo, CA, USA) is a new portable device that allows a quick bedside Hb spot check. A finger clip probe, similar to the standard oxygen finger clip probe, provides hemoglobin values in less than 60 seconds.

In this prospective observational study the investigators will assess the clinical accuracy of Pronto-7 derived Hb values compared to the gold standard laboratory Hb values in obstetric patients. We will be calculating the mean difference between Pronto-7 and laboratory Hb values. We plan to recruit 55 pregnant women admitted for vaginal or cesarean delivery at BC Women's Hospital.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Serum hemoglobin (Hb) concentration is one of the most common laboratory tests measured when a pregnant woman (parturient) is admitted for a vaginal or cesarean delivery. The Hb concentration is normally measured from a venous blood sample in clinical laboratories using co-oximetry.

A new point-of-care pulse co-oximeter, the Pronto-7 (Masimo Corporation, Irvine, CA, USA), is a portable device that offers a non-invasive and quick spot-checking of Hb (SpHb). Measurement with the Pronto-7 takes about 60 seconds and does not require the transfer of blood samples to a laboratory. In addition to SpHb, the device provides a perfusion index (PI) value (a numeric estimation of the pulse strength at the measurement site), heart rate, oxygen saturation, and finger temperature. Potential advantages of the Pronto-7 include reduced staff work, decreased exposure to potential biohazards, and reduced pain and discomfort to the patient.

A similar technology is used in Radical-7 pulse co-oximeter (Masimo Corporation, Irvine, CA, USA) for non-invasive Hb measurement. Radical-7 has been evaluated in human volunteers undergoing hemodilution, in patients undergoing spine surgeries, major urological procedures, and in critically ill patients. However, the results regarding the accuracy of this technology are conflicting.
