Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Enrolled Participant
During routine arterial blood gas sampling, a coordinator will measure SpO2 from a similar extremity. SpO2 data will be recorded using Masimo Radical-7 oximeters. To minimize ambient light interference or optical cross talk from other SpO2 sensors, all the SpO2 sensors will be fully shielded with cloth wraps provided by Masimo. Each enrolled infant will undergo simultaneous blood gas sampling and SpO2 measurement for each routine blood gas collected. Up to a total of 10 SpO2 measurements will be collected, paired with 10 blood gas samples collected as part of routine care, though We anticipate about 3 paired samples (SaO2 and SpO2) per enrolled infant.
