Photoplethysmography for Diagnose Incipient Hypovolemia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Hypovolemia caused by acute bleeding increased morbi-mortality in emergency and operatin rooms. Precise real-time diagnosis of incipient acute hypovolemia is lacking at the bedside. We hypothesize that the infrared-red signals of pulse oximetry are sensitive to acute changes in patient's volemia. We aimed to test this hypothesis in a cohort of healthy blood donors as a model of simulated acute hypovolemia.

Detailed Description
This is a prospective and observational study designed to determine if the changes observed in finger photoplethysmographic waveform can detect incipient hypovolemia. The investigators will studied 60 blood donor volunteers as a model of slight hypovolemia (8-10% of the volemia). Vital signs and photoplethysmography will be recorded in the thumb of the tested hand during a standard blood donation protocol. Recorded data will be analyzed and compared before and after blood donation .

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Analysis of the continuous component (DC) of the photoplethysmography signal. [15 minutes]
The DC components of photoplethysmography is measured in arbitrary units (a.u).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Analysis of non-invasive arterial blood pressure (NIBP) [15 minutes]
NIBP is recorded in mmHg. This information is analyzed before and after blood donation.
