Peripheral Perfusion Index, Haemoglobin and Blood Transfusion in Acute Surgical Patients

NCT03795467 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 1500

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The peripheral perfusion index (PPI) is a non-invasive, feasible measure of peripheral perfusion and, assumed, the overall circulation, which all patients are monitored by.

This study is carried out to assess the association between values of PPI, haemoglobin and blood transfusion.

Hypothetically, patients with low values of hb are more susceptible to a deteriorating circulation reflected in poorer PPI regardless of blood pressure and that resuscitation with blood products improves PPI measurements. Moreover, that patients with low values of PPI have more surgical complications and higher mortality.
