A Comparison of Three Methods of Hemoglobin Monitoring in Pediatric Patients

Central Hospital, Nancy, France195 enrolled

Overview

Investigators compare the accuracy of the SpHb and hemocue with blood Hb levels

The goal of the study is to compare 3 methods of hemoglobin measurement in pediatric patients undergoing major surgery. During general anesthesia investigators will measure and compare at different periods of time blood hemoglobin levels obtained from a radial artery catheter with 2 non invasive methods of measurement using hemocue and SpHb
