Summary
This study tested whether a noninvasive light-based monitor (NIRS) can accurately measure oxygen levels in the liver of children with heart disease. Researchers enrolled 100 children undergoing heart catheterization to compare the sensor readings with standard blood samples. If proven reliable, this painless method could help doctors spot liver problems early without repeated needle sticks.
