Summary
This study will check if pulse oximeters, which measure oxygen levels, work equally well in dark-skinned (Black) and light-skinned (White) children aged 2-9 during surgery. Researchers will compare the device's readings to a more precise blood test. The goal is to see if skin color affects accuracy, which could impact patient safety.
