Effect of Postural Change on Hemoglobin Level in Patients on the Intensive Care Unit

NCT06438458 · Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 24

Summary

Monitoring hemoglobin levels (Hb) is important to identify anemia in hospitalized patients. Changes in posture and mobilization efforts, as demonstrated by previous research, can lead to significant shifts in Hb concentrations. This phenomenon has not been studied in ICU patients.

This study aims to investigate whether postural changes and mobilisation affect Hb in ICU patients. We hypothesize that significant Hb shifts may occur, potentially leading to misinterpretations of anemia and unnecessary diagnostic and therapeutic workup. Understanding this impact can guide clinical practice and prevent unwarranted interventions.
