Study of skin color and pulse oximeters in children with heart disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This trial checks how well pulse oximeters (devices that measure oxygen levels) work in children with congenital heart disease who have different skin colors. It aims to make sure these devices are accurate for all children during heart surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child under 18 years old
- You have a type of heart problem present at birth (congenital heart disease)
- You are scheduled for heart surgery with general anesthesia
- The surgery must include a planned arterial line (a thin tube placed in an artery)
- Your surgery is not an emergency
- You do not have severe anemia (low red blood cells; hemoglobin less than 8.0 g/dL)

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.
This study tests a special light sensor that measures blood flow to the heart and other organs during complex heart surgery. It may help doctors better understand and manage blood flow in children at risk for complications.
This study is testing a device that checks blood oxygen levels in children having heart surgery or catheterization. The goal is to see if it works well for kids, which could lead to a non-invasive way to monitor blood health.
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 if adding blood flow measurements to standard pulse oximeter screening better detects critical congenital heart disease in fetuses and newborns. It may help identify babies who need early heart care.
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.
