Skin sensor study for ICU patients needing blood oxygen checks
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You are currently in an ICU at UNC Hospital.
- You need at least two arterial blood gas tests (blood oxygen checks) in a day.
- You or your legal representative can read, write, and speak English fluently.
- You do not have certain skin conditions, allergies, tattoos on your hands or arms, or other listed medical conditions.

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 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 and “validates” how well wearable sensors work on the skin in healthy adults. It may help researchers build safer, more reliable wearables—but you would need healthy skin and the ability to do some moderate exercise during the study.
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 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 how well certain monitors measure oxygen and blood thickness in healthy volunteers. It helps improve devices used in hospitals to keep patients safe.
