First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a sticker-like sensor on the skin can accurately measure carbon dioxide levels in newborns with brain injury who are receiving cooling treatment. About 53 babies will take part. If it works, it could replace frequent blood draws and make monitoring easier and less painful.
