Skin oxygen monitoring in pediatric ICU
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 1 month and 18 years
- Admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU)
- Has an arterial line for blood tests
- Is stable (not in shock or on high doses of blood pressure medicine)
- No severe skin problems at the sensor site (e.g., burns, infection)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if a sticker on the skin can accurately measure carbon dioxide levels in the blood, reducing the need for needle sticks in children in the intensive care unit.
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.
This study tests whether a small skin patch (connected to a device) can accurately record vital signs in children who need close monitoring in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It may help improve how doctors track a child’s heart rate, breathing, and other key signs.
This study tests a new adhesive sensor that measures blood oxygen through the skin without needing as many blood draws. It may help ICU patients get faster, more comfortable oxygen monitoring.
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 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.
