Pronto-7: Accuracy of Non-invasive Hemoglobin Measurement in Parturients
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Pronto-7 for Hemoglobin Levels in Blood. Completed, enrolled 71 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
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.
