In brief
Retrospective study evaluating noninvasive continuous hemoglobin monitoring (SpHb) as an alternative to serial laboratory draws in pediatric trauma patients with solid organ injuries managed nonoperatively. Addresses the clinical utility and safety of continuous monitoring technology in reducing phlebotomy burden while maintaining surveillance for bleeding complications.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
Background/Purpose
Hemoglobin monitoring is required in pediatric trauma patients with solid organ injury. We hypothesized that noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring (NIHM) represents an effective, safe alternative to laboratory hemoglobin (LabHb) monitoring in clinically stable patients.
Methods
A retrospective cohort study was conducted regarding pediatric trauma patients (
