Is Pleth Variability Index (PVI) a Surrogate for Pulse Pressure Variations (PPV) in Pediatric Spine Fusion (SF) Surgery?

NCT00994656 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Spine fusion is an involved procedure during which patients are at risk for significant intra-operative blood loss.This study will compare 2 ways of determining fluid status and response to fluid administration. One way is to measure the changes in the arterial wave form from the special IV that is usually placed in an artery (PPV). The second way is to use a non-invasive method of a finger probe that measures changes in the plethysmogram or the pleth variability index (PVI). No actual patient treatments will be based on these values during surgery.

Conditions

  • Scoliosis
  • Spinal Fusion

Interventions

DEVICE

Masimo multi-wavelength pulse co-oximeter

Subjects will have a finger probe that will measure the pleth variability index. They will also have an arterial line (as standard of care) from which arterial pulse tracings will be obtained.
