Brief Summary
This is a prospective, non-randomized, non-blinded comparative study to evaluate the accuracy of pulse oximetry compared to co-oximetry in dark-skinned (Black) compared to lighter-skinned (White) children undergoing anesthesia, using standard FDA performance statistics as measured by mean bias and accuracy root mean squared to evaluate device performance.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Accuracy of Pulse Oximetry
Accuracy of pulse oximetry readings (SpO2) as compared with arterial oxygen saturations measured by arterial blood gas with co-oximetry (ABG-CoOx).
Baseline
Interventions
1 mL blood sample for ABG-CoOx analysis to obtain co-oximetry measured arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2C) and standard ABG derived arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2S).
Eligibility Criteria
Children undergoing surgery at Nationwide Children's Hospital.
You may qualify if:
- Children aged 2-9 years undergoing general anesthesia with or without arterial line placement.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease.
- Patients with bleeding disorders.
- Patients taking blood thinners.
