NEUCHATEL, Switzerland-Monday 14 December 2020 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today the findings of an abstract recently presented at Euroanaesthesia 2020 in which Dr. Saraçoğlu and colleagues at Marmara University in Istanbul, Turkey investigated the efficacy of Masimo noninvasive and continuous hemoglobin monitoring, SpHb®, as part of the transfusion management of pediatric patients undergoing major surgery.1 The researchers found that use of SpHb was associated with decreased rate of postoperative transfusion, reduced length of ICU stay, and other improved outcomes.
Noting that traditional methods of measuring hemoglobin and estimating blood loss as part of perioperative blood transfusion management are “time consuming” and may cause delays in decision making, the researchers sought to investigate whether use of a noninvasive, continuous method, Masimo SpHb, would have an impact on transfusion rates, morbidity, and mortality in pediatric patients undergoing craniosynostosis surgery. Pediatric patients aged 2-24 months were divided into a control group (n = 28), whose transfusion therapy was managed using intermittent blood gas analysis, and an experimental group (n = 27), whose transfusion therapy was managed using SpHb monitored with Masimo rainbow® sensors connected to a Radical-7® Pulse CO-Oximeter®. In both groups, blood gas analysis was performed hourly during the perioperative period; in the SpHb group, when SpHb monitoring indicated a sudden decrease in hemoglobin, blood gas analysis was simultaneously performed.
The researchers calculated the following statistically significant (p < 0.05) results:
Outcome
Control Group
SpHb Group
P-value
Length of stay in ICU
55.43 hours ± 25.34 hours (48 hours median)
33.48 hours ± 12.25 hours (24 hours median)
0.001
Postoperative drainage
215.54 mL ± 93.1 mL
136.85 mL ± 62.27 mL
0.001
Postoperative red blood cell transfusion
179.02 mL ± 163.06 mL (145 mL)
102.69 mL ± 73.87 mL (105 mL)
0.033
Postoperative fresh frozen plasma transfusion
71.96 mL ± 94.95 mL (25 mL)
28.15 mL ± 64.35 mL (0 mL)
0.043
Perioperative crystalloid
396.79 mL ± 171.16 mL (350 mL)
462.59 mL ± 158.91 mL (500 mL)
0.048
First platelet level in ICU
270,821 ± 74,474
327,185 ± 104,644
0.025
Last lactate level in ICU
1.47 mmol/L ± 0.64 mmol/L (1.25 mmol/L)
1.18 mmol/L ± 0.63 mmol/L (0.9 mmol/L)
0.044
They found that the length of stay in the ICU was statistically significantly higher in the control group than the SpHb group. Postoperative drainage, red blood cell transfusion, and fresh frozen plasma transfusion in the ICU were also statistically significantly higher in the control group than the SpHb group. Lactate levels were higher in the SpHb group at the start of the operation, but higher in the control group at the end.
The researchers concluded, “Noninvasive continuous hemoglobin monitoring in major hemorrhagic surgeries in pediatric patients might be effective in reducing morbidity not only by reducing the amount of transfusion but also [by] leading to less metabolic and hemodynamic instability.”
In other clinical studies, conducted with adult patients, continuous monitoring with SpHb as part of patient blood management (PBM) programs has been found to improve outcomes, such as reducing the percentage of patients receiving transfusions,2 reducing the units of red blood cells transfused per patient,3-4 reducing the time to transfusion,5 reducing costs,6 and even reducing mortality 30 and 90 days after surgery by 33% and 29%, respectively.7 The evidence of SpHb’s impact on outcomes spans the globe, representing 6 countries on 4 different continents.2-8 Today, SpHb technology supports clinicians in over 75 countries around the world.9
SpHb is not intended to replace laboratory blood testing. Clinical decisions regarding red blood cell transfusions should be based on the clinician’s judgment considering, among other factors, patient condition, continuous SpHb monitoring, and laboratory diagnostic tests using blood samples.

About Masimo
Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) is a global medical technology company that develops and produces a wide array of industry-leading monitoring technologies, including innovative measurements, sensors, patient monitors, and automation and connectivity solutions. Our mission is to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care. Masimo SET® Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion™ pulse oximetry, introduced in 1995, has been shown in over 100 independent and objective studies to outperform other pulse oximetry technologies.10 Masimo SET® has also been shown to help clinicians reduce severe retinopathy of prematurity in neonates,11 improve CCHD screening in newborns,12 and, when used for continuous monitoring with Masimo Patient SafetyNet™ in post-surgical wards, reduce rapid response team activations, ICU transfers, and costs13-16 Masimo SET® is estimated to be used on more than 200 million patients in leading hospitals and other healthcare settings around the world,17 and is the primary pulse oximetry at 9 of the top 10 hospitals according to the 2020-21 U.S. News and World Report Best Hospitals Honor Roll.18 Masimo continues to refine SET® and in 2018, announced that SpO2 accuracy on RD SET® sensors during conditions of motion has been significantly improved, providing clinicians with even greater confidence that the SpO2 values they rely on accurately reflect a patient’s physiological status. In 2005, Masimo introduced rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry technology, allowing noninvasive and continuous monitoring of blood constituents that previously could only be measured invasively, including total hemoglobin (SpHb®), oxygen content (SpOC™), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO®), methemoglobin (SpMet®), Pleth Variability Index (PVi®), RPVi™ (rainbow® PVi), and Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi™). In 2013, Masimo introduced the Root® Patient Monitoring and Connectivity Platform, built from the ground up to be as flexible and expandable as possible to facilitate the addition of other Masimo and third-party monitoring technologies; key Masimo additions include Next Generation SedLine® Brain Function Monitoring, O3® Regional Oximetry, and ISA™ Capnography with NomoLine® sampling lines. Masimo’s family of continuous and spot-check monitoring Pulse CO-Oximeters® includes devices designed for use in a variety of clinical and non-clinical scenarios, including tetherless, wearable technology, such as Radius-7® and Radius PPG™, portable devices like Rad-67™, fingertip pulse oximeters like MightySat® Rx, and devices available for use both in the hospital and at home, such as Rad-97®. Masimo hospital automation and connectivity solutions are centered around the Masimo Hospital Automation™ platform, and include Iris Gateway®, Patient SafetyNet, Replica™, Halo ION™, UniView™, UniView: 60™, and Masimo SafetyNet™.
