Conditions

Anemia, Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical utility of triage screening for anemia and carbon monoxide poisoning (COP) in the ED setting.This is a prospective, nonrandomized, multi-center study of the performance of simultaneous non-invasive testing for two common disorders (COP and anemia). We will determine the limits of agreement and performance characteristics of non-invasive carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO) and hemoglobin (SpHb) values compared to standard blood tests for measurement of carboxyhemoglobin and hemoglobin, in the emergency department setting.

Outcome results

Primary

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Elimination Pharmacokinetics in Relation to Oxygen Administration

CO elimination will be evaluated as a function of administered oxygen.

Time frame: up to 3 hours

Population: No COHb elimination pharmacokinetics data was collected.

Primary

Difference Between SpCO and COHb

Measure the difference between noninvasive carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO) and carboxyhemoglobin determined by co-oximeter measurement of blood (COHb) as calculated in terms of standard deviation. The average difference between paired Masimo noninvasive carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO) and reference carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) determined by co-oximeter measurement of blood represented as mean bias.

Time frame: Up to 3 hours

Population: 140 subjects excluded due to: 35 subjects: no valid reference COHb measurements available 17 subjects: no SpCO measurements available 65 subjects: COHb sample more than 10 minutes from the SpCO measurement. 22 subjects: low SpCO confidence value~1 subject: invalid reference measurement (COHb) Target subject sample size of 3000 was not met to evaluate difference between SpCO and COHb. The results are reported in terms of standard deviation.

Sensitivity of SpHb Detection of Anemia.

Sensitivity in detecting true anemic subjects as determined by co-oximeter reference analyzer.

Time frame: up to 3 hours

Population: Excluded subjects are shown below:~20 subjects: no valid blood reference results 73 subjects: time between the first valid SpHb reading and the venous blood draw exceeded 10 minutes.~32 subjects: low Perfusion Index quality. 3 subjects: low signal stability 26 subjects: low SpHb confidence 18 subjects : no SpHb result displayed. 21 subjects: user error~1 subject: pregnant

SpCO Detection of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning (COP)

Diagnostics performance of SpCO for detecting COP measured by sensitivity and specificity compared to COHb.

Time frame: up to 3 hours

SpHb Utility for Screening Anemia

Establish SpHb threshold that predicts the clinical outcome for acute treatment of anemia

Time frame: up to 3 hours

Population: The number of subjects requirement defined by the study protocol were not met in this study, thus the threshold that predicts the outcome of acute treatment of anemia cannot be determined nor validated.

Primary

Utility of SpCO as a Screening Tool for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Surveying healthcare providers whether SpCO screening lead to identification of occult toxicity

Time frame: up to 3 hours

Population: Clinician survey were not conducted or collected to perform data analysis.
