Condition(s) targeted: Patients Undergoing Spine Surgery

Intervention: intermediate-acting digital nerve block (Other)

Phase: N/A

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: University of California, San Francisco

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Ronald D Miller, MD, MS, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: University of California, San Francisco

Summary

The investigators are proposing to continue investigation to improve the accuracy of the SpHb (continuous hemoglobin monitoring device) by administering an intermediate acting digital nerve block in the finger connected to the SpHb, specifically bupivacaine 0. 25% in patients undergoing spine surgery. Bupivacaine is FDA approved and in routine use.

Clinical Details

Official title: The Influence of a Bupivacaine Digital Nerve Block With the New Continuous Sensor (Rev G) on the Accuracy of SpHb Monitoring.

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Diagnostic

Primary outcome: SpHb (continuous hemoglobin monitor reading) minus tHb (clinical laboratory determined hemoglobin value).

Detailed description: Patients undergoing spine surgery will be randomized to receive (or not) the bupivacaine digital block on the finger attached to the new limited release version of the hemoglobin sensor, RevG. The SpHb reading will be compared to a blood hemoglobin level analyzed in the UCSF Clinical Laboratories.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: 85 Years. Gender(s): Both.
