Testing an oxygen sensor for infants and children
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 month and 12 years old.
- Your child needs an arterial blood sample (a blood test from an artery) as part of their normal care.
- No severe anemia (very low blood count) within 4 hours before the blood draw.
- No recent high levels of methemoglobin (a type of abnormal blood protein) or carboxyhemoglobin (from carbon monoxide) within 24 hours.
- No heart or blood flow conditions that could affect oxygen readings, such as certain heart defects or being on ECMO (a heart-lung bypass machine).

This trial is testing a new type of oxygen sensor worn on the skin to see if it works well for children and teenagers. It may help doctors get better readings of oxygen levels in the blood.
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 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 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 trial tests a new way to measure breathing using a standard oxygen sensor (pulse oximetry) and a special clip on the nose for children and adults. It's meant for people already having their blood oxygen checked regularly, and the goal is to see if the sensor can accurately track your breaths.
This trial tests a new type of oxygen monitor (pulse oximeter) in babies under 1 year old. It helps doctors better track oxygen levels in critically ill infants to improve care.
