Checking oxygen levels with different glove colors in children
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests if the color of gloves worn by healthcare workers affects the accuracy of oxygen level readings in children. It may help improve how oxygen is monitored during care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 3 and 18 years old.
- Your child has had a blood test to measure oxygen levels (arterial blood gas test).
- You or your child agrees to take part in the study.
- Your child does not have a skin condition on their fingers.
- Your child does not have nail polish on their fingernails.
- Your child has not had a finger amputated.

This study tests how well pulse oximeters (the clip that measures oxygen in your blood) work on different skin tones. It aims to make these devices more accurate for everyone, especially people with darker skin.
This study tests a new oxygen sensor on children who already need a blood test from an artery. The sensor is placed on the skin and measures oxygen levels without extra needle sticks, which might make monitoring more comfortable for your child.
This study checks if a child's skin color affects how well a pulse oximeter (a small clip on the finger that measures oxygen in the blood) works. It involves children having a heart catheterization, where doctors can directly measure oxygen levels, to see if the pulse oximeter gives the same reading.
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.
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 new wireless system that monitors oxygen levels in healthy adults. It helps make sure the system works safely before it might be used for newborns.
