Onderzoek naar prestaties Masimo SpHb® bij traumapatiënten met lage hemoglobinewaarden

NEUCHATEL, Zwitserland–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) heeft vandaag de conclusies van een onlangs gepubliceerd onderzoek van wetenschappers aan de Universiteit van Cairo gepresenteerd, bestaande uit een beoordeling van non-invasieve, doorlopende hemoglobinemetingen met Masimo SpHb bij traumapatiënten met een lage hemoglobinewaarden.

Dr. Gamal en collega’s wilden met het prospectieve, observationele onderzoek SpHb-metingen bij traumapatiënten met lage hemoglobinewaardes (onder 8 g/dL) controleren, aangezien traumapatiënten ‘kwetsbaar zijn bij frequente bloedtransfusies’.

 

 

Study Evaluates Performance of Masimo SpHb® in Trauma Patients with Low Hemoglobin Levels

NEUCHATEL, Switzerland–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today the findings of a recently published study in which researchers at Cairo University in Egypt evaluated the performance of Masimo SpHb ®, noninvasive, continuous hemoglobin measurement, in trauma patients with low hemoglobin levels. 1

In the prospective, observational study, Dr. Gamal and colleagues sought to evaluate SpHb measurements on trauma patients with low hemoglobin levels (below 8 g/dL) because trauma patients are “vulnerable to frequent blood transfusion.” They enrolled 70 adult patients with hemoglobin levels lower than 8 g/dL who were admitted to the emergency department (ED) of Cairo University Hospital and scheduled for surgical intervention. While in the ED, the patients’ SpHb was continuously monitored using a Masimo Radical-7 ® Pulse CO-Oximeter ®, with initial baseline measurement recorded as well as measurement after each unit of blood was administered. The researchers simultaneously obtained 2 mL venous blood samples, which were analyzed using a Coulter LH 750 Beckman analyzer (LabHb).

A total of 184 samples with corresponding SpHb values were collected for final analysis. The distribution of LabHb values was 20 (11%) below 6 g/dL, 97 (53%) between 6-7 g/dL, and 67 (36%) between 7-8 g/dL. The accuracy of SpHb in comparison to LabHb was assessed using Bland-Altman analysis. The level of agreement between SpHb and LabHb showed a bias of 0.12 g/dL and limits of agreement of -0.56 g/dL and 0.79 g/dL.

To determine the accuracy of SpHb as a trend measurement, the researchers also observed the change in hemoglobin (DeltaHb) before and after each unit of blood was transfused, for both methods. The level of agreement between DeltaSpHb and DeltaLabHb showed a bias of -0.05 g/dL and limits of agreement of -0.62 g/dL and 0.51 g/dL.

The researchers concluded that “SpHb showed accurate precision in both absolute values and trend values compared to LabHb measurement in trauma patients with low hemoglobin levels.” They also suggested several possible uses for SpHb, including as “a trend monitor that would alert the physician to any sudden bleeding mishaps,” and as a “good supplementary measure” to LabHb that can “save time and effort.”

The researchers acknowledged that this study is not sufficient to alone answer the question, “Can we transfuse blood relying solely on SpHb or not?” However, they noted that their findings add to the body of evidence in favor of SpHb and suggest the need for additional research regarding the role of Masimo technology in blood transfusion decisions.

SpHb monitoring is not intended to replace laboratory blood testing. Blood samples should be analyzed by laboratory instruments prior to clinical decision making.

The accuracy specification of SpHb is 1 g/dL A RMS* in the range of 8-17 g/dL. SpHb accuracy has been validated on healthy adult male and female volunteers and on surgical patients with light to dark skin pigmentation against an invasive laboratory device. SpHb accuracy has not been validated in conditions of motion or low perfusion.

*A RMS accuracy is a statistical calculation of the difference between device measurements and reference measurements. Approximately two-thirds of the device measurements fell within ± A RMS of the reference measurements in a controlled study.

About Masimo

Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) is a global leader in innovative noninvasive monitoring technologies. Our mission is to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care. In 1995, the company debuted Masimo SET ® Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion™ pulse oximetry, which has been shown in multiple studies to significantly reduce false alarms and accurately monitor for true alarms. Masimo SET ® has also been shown to help clinicians reduce severe retinopathy of prematurity in neonates, 1 improve CCHD screening in newborns,2 and, when used for continuous monitoring with Masimo Patient SafetyNet™* in post-surgical wards, reduce rapid response activations and costs. 3,4,5 Masimo SET ® is estimated to be used on more than 100 million patients in leading hospitals and other healthcare settings around the world, 6 and is the primary pulse oximetry at 16 of the top 20 hospitals listed in the 2016-17 U.S. News and World Report Best Hospitals Honor Roll. 7 In 2005, Masimo introduced rainbow ® Pulse CO-Oximetry technology, allowing noninvasive and continuous monitoring of blood constituents that previously could only be measured invasively, including total hemoglobin (SpHb ®), oxygen content (SpOC™), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO ®), methemoglobin (SpMet ®), Pleth Variability Index (PVi ®), and more recently, Oxygen Reserve Index  (ORi™), in addition to SpO 2, pulse rate, and perfusion index (Pi). In 2014, Masimo introduced Root ®, an intuitive patient monitoring and connectivity platform with the Masimo Open Connect™ (MOC-9™) interface, enabling other companies to augment Root with new features and measurement capabilities. Masimo is also taking an active leadership role in mHealth with products such as the Radius-7™ wearable patient monitor, iSpO 2 ®pulse oximeter for smartphones, and the MightySat™ fingertip pulse oximeter.
