Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include in-patients aged 18 years or older or parents/legal guardians of subjects under 18 years in neonatal or pediatric intensive care units.

Probably not a fit

Patients with known pregnancy, lactation, or compromised skin at sensor application sites may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the accuracy of Philips SpO2 sensors against invasive arterial oxygen measurements in neonatal, infant, and pediatric populations. It will collect data on various demographic factors, including skin pigmentation, to understand their impact on measurement accuracy. Participants will be in-patients in neonatal or pediatric intensive care units and will have arterial access for blood sampling. The study is designed to be multi-center and will analyze data descriptively based on the performance of the sensors used.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the accuracy of oxygen saturation measurements in vulnerable pediatric populations.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown varying success in evaluating pulse oximetry accuracy, but this specific approach focusing on skin pigmentation is relatively novel.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Subject aged 18 years or older or parent/legal guardian of subject aged less than 18 years, willing and able to understand and provide written informed consent/assent.
* Weight and/or age within intended use of at least one SpO2 sensor under test at time of enrollment.
* Willing and able to wear study devices in addition to SoC devices and during SoC procedures.
* In-patient within a neonatal or pediatric intensive care unit (e.g. NICU, PICU, PCICU).
* Has arterial access and ability to have arterial blood samples drawn as part of their SoC and analyzed by CO-Oximetry.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Known pregnancy or lactating females (self-reported)
* Injury, wounds, physical malformation, hyperkeratosis, or compromised/non-intact skin at sensor application site (i.e. fingers, toes, hands, feet, ears, nasal ala). Note: Certain malformations may be allowed if determined it would not affect application of sensor with the pulse oximetry system.
* Self-reported severe contact allergies to standard adhesives or other materials found in pulse oximetry sensors. Note: Subject may be considered eligible if subject can wear non-adhesive sensor.
* Unwillingness or inability to remove nail polish or artificial nails from sensor application site.
* Nail fungus on sensor application site.
* Wearing and unable to remove jewelry from sensor application site.
* Dye injection within 48 hours of enrollment.
* Known dysfunctional hemoglobin levels (COHb \>3%, MetHb \>2%, and ctHb \<10g/dl)
* Undergoing phototherapy for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia during arterial blood sampling
