Clinical Trial Summary

The project is a prospective observational study aimed to assess and to validate the use of point-of-care hemoglobin testing in pregnancy. Point-of-care hemoglobin testing has the potential to (1) increase access to hemoglobin monitoring in pregnancy in low resource settings, (2) increase availability of hemoglobin monitoring in anemic patients, and (3) provide immediate results for real-time patient counseling and intervention. However, to date, point-of-care hemoglobin testing devices have not yet been studied for use in an ambulatory obstetric population. The Masimo device is a Root Radical 7 Pulse CO-Oximeter, manufactured by Masimo, Inc. This device is non-invasive and placed externally on a patient's finger to generate an estimation of a patient's hemoglobin value. The HemoCue® device is a minimally-invasive device that relies on the finger prick method to get a capillary hemoglobin measurement. Participants in this study will be approached at the Obstetrics and Gynecology clinics at George Washington Medical Faculty Associates. Point-of-care hemoglobin measurements will be assessed using the non-invasive Masimo device along with minimally-invasive hemoglobin HemoCue® Hb 801 device and compared to traditional venipuncture hemoglobin testing.


Description:

This will be a prospective, observational study for which aim to recruit 200 patients over the study period. Patients will be approached at one of the MFA Obstetrics and Gynecology clinics. Once consented, they will be approached at least two time-points during their antenatal care as below: 1. OB new/ first prenatal visit (usually between 12-18 weeks of gestation) 2. OB return visit (usually between 24-28 weeks of gestation) May need to get more Hb time-points readings (up to five readings) if the patient will be diagnosed with anemia at any of the previously mentioned visits or will be scheduled to have more blood draws during the prenatal care period. At each time-point visit, we plan to talk with the provider of the patient about the study. Then the study protocol and the recruitment process with the patient will be discussed. If the patient consents, the researchers will coordinate with the lab personnel the exact time of the routinely ordered blood draw (as a part of the subject's antenatal care) to determine the appropriate time to get the Hb readings using the devices (preferrably, right before the venipuncture). To obtain the readings, a study research coordinator will apply a disposable probe (Rainbow R1 25 adult adhesive sensor) connected to a Radical-7 co-oximeter sensor on the ring finger of the same arm of the venipuncture, shielded by an opaque covering to eliminate intereference from ambient light to obtain the SpHb reading. In addition, during in the same setting, we will ask for a finger prick capillary sample to get the Hemocue Hb reading as well (the same side will be used). Both readings will be tabulated in a case report form and the standard lab hemoglobin reading will be added to them once received. This is how it will validate the performance of the Masimo and the Hemocue devices with the routine lab test results. Additionally, the researchers will collect demographics, procedure-specific and some antenatal-care variables including vitals, gestational age and the exact date and time of the records at each time point visit, using a well-structured case report form.
