Elderly With Hip Fracture and Perioperative Hemoglobin and Perfusion Index Levels

April 25, 2017 updated by: Christopher Clemmesen, Hvidovre University Hospital

Contionuous Perioperative Hemoglobin and Perfusion Index Measurements in Elderly Patients With Hip Fracture and Post Operative Delirium

The overall aim of the study is to investigate the time difference in the diagnosing of anemia among elderly with hip fracture, between measurements with standard blood samples and non-invasive SpHb-measuring. Another aim is to investigate the relationship between perfusion index and prolong perioperative anemia and the potential impact on perioperative complications.

Detailed Description

Immediately after admission and diagnosis of a hip fracture the patients will be monitored with Masimo SpHb. The Patients will be continuously measured until the third day after surgery. The Monitors Hb and PI data but not the SpO2% will be blinded to all participating healthcare personnel.The first three postopertive days the patiens will daily be examined to determined it they have developed delirium.

All perioperativ complications in that period will be monitored.
