NCT ID NCT07686341
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new pulse oximeter worn on the abdomen, designed to measure oxygen levels in infants with congenital heart disease. Researchers compare its accuracy against standard fingertip monitors and direct blood measurements. The device also includes features to reduce errors from motion and different skin tones. If successful, it could provide a more reliable and comfortable way to monitor oxygen in hospitalized children.
