Studies have shown that SpHb may help clinicians reduce blood transfusions in both low and high blood loss surgeries2,3

A randomized trial of 327 patients undergoing elective orthopedic surgery, conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), found that the use of continuous, noninvasive hemoglobin monitoring reduced the rate of transfusions when compared to standard care without continuous, noninvasive hemoglobin monitoring2

A prospective cohort study of 106 neurosurgical patients found that adding SpHb monitoring to standard-of-care blood management resulted in decreased blood utilization in high-blood-loss neurosurgery, while also facilitating earlier transfusions3*
