Summary

Hemoglobin-based blood substitutes can interfere with cooximeter measurements, leading to less accurate but still clinically useful results. Some substitutes caused significant interference, including negative carboxyhemoglobin readings.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical engineering
  • Clinical diagnostics

Background:

  • Hemoglobin-based blood substitutes (HBBS) are under development.
  • Their impact on clinical analyzers is known, but effects on cooximeters are not.
  • Cooximeters are crucial for measuring blood oxygenation and related components.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the interference of HBBS on cooximeter measurements.
  • To evaluate the accuracy and clinical utility of cooximeters when used with HBBS.

Main Methods:

  • Tested five different HBBS from various manufacturers.
  • Evaluated eight cooximeters/oximeters using these HBBS and a control.
  • Compared instrument readings for total hemoglobin and fractional concentrations (oxy-, deoxy-, carboxy-, methemoglobin).

Main Results:

  • Total hemoglobin measurements were generally comparable to controls.
  • Fractional concentration measurements showed increased variability and instrument-to-instrument disparities.
  • Significant interference observed, including negative carboxyhemoglobin readings with one HBBS.

Conclusions:

  • Cooximeters generally provide less accurate but clinically useful measurements with HBBS.
  • Specific HBBS can cause notable interference, impacting diagnostic reliability.
  • Further research may be needed to refine cooximeter algorithms for HBBS use.
