Validating a blood measurement device in kids having heart procedures
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a device that checks blood oxygen levels in children having heart surgery or catheterization. The goal is to see if it works well for kids, which could lead to a non-invasive way to monitor blood health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under 21 years old.
- You are scheduled for a planned heart surgery or heart catheterization with general anesthesia.
- You will have an arterial line placed as part of your routine care for the procedure.
- You do not have any skin or head abnormalities that would prevent the sensor from working properly.
- Your doctors can get blood samples from an artery using standard methods.

This study tests a special light sensor that measures blood flow to the heart and other organs during complex heart surgery. It may help doctors better understand and manage blood flow in children at risk for complications.
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 is testing a new wireless device that monitors oxygen levels in the brain. It is for babies already using a similar wired monitor, to see if the wireless version works just as well.
This study measures how well blood flows to the brain in infants with serious heart defects. The results may help doctors understand and protect brain development before and after heart surgery.
This study looks at how managing blood products during heart surgery with a heart-lung machine affects the risk of red blood cell breakdown in children. The goal is to find safer ways to handle blood during these procedures.
This study tests a new non-invasive way to monitor how well oxygen is being delivered to your body during and after heart surgery. Researchers will compare this new monitoring method with standard devices that are already being used during your surgery.
