Non-Invasive Venous waveform Analysis (NIVA) for monitoring blood loss in human blood donors and validation in a porcine hemorrhage model.

Study Objective: There is an unmet need for a non-invasive approach to diagnose hemorrhage early, before changes in vital signs occur. Non-Invasive Venous waveform Analysis (NIVA) uses a unique physiological signal (the peripheral venous waveform) to assess intravascular volume. We hypothesized changes in the venous waveform would be observed with blood loss in healthy adult blood donors and characterized hemorrhage using invasive monitoring in a porcine model.
