Oxygen sensor accuracy in ICU patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial checks how well a standard pulse oximeter (SpO2) on the skin matches oxygen levels measured directly from an artery (SaO2). It may help determine if the sensor is accurate for patients in intensive care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Patient must be in a neonatal or pediatric ICU (NICU, PICU, or PCICU).
- Must have an arterial line for routine blood draws.
- Must be at least 18 years old (or have a parent/guardian if younger).
- No pregnancy or recent dye injections (within 48 hours).
- No severe skin problems, nail polish, artificial nails, or jewelry at the sensor site.

This study tests a new way to measure oxygen levels in the blood of infants and children using a sensor on the skin. It may help doctors monitor oxygen without needing as many blood draws.
This trial is testing a new type of oxygen sensor worn on the skin to see if it works well for children and teenagers. It may help doctors get better readings of oxygen levels in the blood.
This study tests how well different pulse oximeters measure oxygen levels compared to a direct blood test in patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to find which devices are most accurate for monitoring oxygen.
This trial tests a new way to measure breathing using a standard oxygen sensor (pulse oximetry) and a special clip on the nose for children and adults. It's meant for people already having their blood oxygen checked regularly, and the goal is to see if the sensor can accurately track your breaths.
This trial compares how well different fingertip pulse oximeters measure oxygen levels, using an arterial blood test as the reference. It may help improve oxygen monitoring for ICU patients, especially when measurements can be hard or inaccurate.
This study tests how well a new oxygen sensor (pulse oximeter) works on children in the cardiac intensive care unit. If your child already has an artery line placed for normal care, this sensor might give more accurate readings without any extra pokes.
