Comparing carbon dioxide measurements in critically ill children

This study checks whether a sensor placed on the skin can reliably measure carbon dioxide levels in people who need VA-ECMO, a kind of temporary heart-lung support. It aims to help doctors monitor breathing and circulation more accurately while you’re on this support.

This study checks if a skin sensor can accurately measure oxygen levels in the blood of children in the intensive care unit, compared to standard blood tests. It may help reduce the need for frequent needle sticks.

This study compares two ways of checking that a breathing tube is placed correctly in seriously ill adults: one uses a device that shows a waveform on a screen, and the other uses a color-changing test. It may help doctors choose the best method for patients in the emergency room or ICU.

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 will measure the amount of carbon monoxide you breathe out over time while you are in the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if these levels relate to how well patients do, which could help doctors predict outcomes and personalize care.

This trial looks at whether a new way of measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood can help doctors quickly understand why a patient is short of breath. It is for adults who come to the emergency room with trouble breathing, and it involves doing an extra analysis on a blood sample that would be taken anyway.
