Preoperative Noninvasive Hemoglobin Monitoring in Pediatric Patients

Surgery Clinical Trial

Official title: The Accuracy of the Noninvasive Hemoglobin Monitoring for Preoperative Evaluation for Pediatric Patients

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The preoperative evaluation including sampling blood in pediatric patients is hard to perform. However, the knowledge of the baseline cell blood count is important to prepare unexpected surgical bleeding etc.. The invasive procedure for blood sampling in small children is often failed and sometimes induces iatrogenic blood loss and parent's complaints. The Pulse Co-oximetry (Masimo) is recently developed device which can provide noninvasive hemoglobin value. However, the accuracy is controversial. There are studies in pediatric patients during surgery and in ICU. However, the comparison for preoperative evaluation is not analysed. Therefore, the investigators want to evaluate the accuracy for preoperative preparation in pediatric patients.

Clinical Trial Description

There are not enough data comparing the noninvasive hemoglobin and venous hemoglobin in pediatric patients during preoperative period. The investigators will collect the venous sample and the noninvasive hemoglobin data from masimo within 1 hour. Without any additional medication, the patients will visit preanesthetic room and attach the probe of masimo on index finger. The R 20L or R25L will be used based on their weight. The parameter will be stabilized within 2 minutes and the SpHb and perfusion index will be recorded. ;
