Checking oxygen accuracy in kids
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 0 and 12 years old
- Child is in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU)
- Child has or will have a small tube in an artery (arterial line) for routine care
- Child does not have high levels of methemoglobin or carboxyhemoglobin (abnormal blood conditions)
- Child does not have severe low blood pressure (hypotension) at enrollment
- Child does not have a heart defect that depends on a duct (ductal-dependent) to get blood flow

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 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 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 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 how well a new Owlet sensor measures oxygen levels in newborns. It is for babies who already have an arterial line in place for routine blood tests.
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.
