Comparison of the accuracy of noninvasive hemoglobin monitoring by spectrophotometry (SpHb) and HemoCue® with automated laboratory hemoglobin …
Background The reference method for hemoglobin concentration measurement remains
automated analysis in the laboratory. Although point-of-care devices such as the
HemoCue® 201+(HemoCue, Ängelholm, Sweden) provide immediate hemoglobin values, a
noninvasive, spectrophotometry-based technology (Radical-7®; Masimo Corp., Irvine, CA)
that provides continuous online hemoglobin (SpHb) measurements has been introduced.
This clinical study aimed to test the hypothesis that SpHb monitoring was equivalent to that …
