Clinical Trials

We will collect both non-invasive hemoglobin and conventional serum hemoglobin labs from patients postoperatively following outpatient total joint arthroplasty to determine how closely the values of these two studies correlate in the outpatient total joint arthroplasty patient population.

The purposes of this study are to validate noninvasive hemoglobin monitoring in postoperative orthopedic pediatric patients, to evaluate patient, parent, and provider preference of noninvasive hemoglobin monitoring compared to invasive blood draw, and to evaluate cost effectiveness of noninvasive monitoring in comparison to invasive blood draws.
