Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different colored gloves on oxygen saturation in pediatric patients whose oxygen saturation was measured by pulse oximetry in pediatric emergency department. The population of the study, which is planned as a prospective cohort study, will consist of children between the ages of 3-18 years who underwent oxygen saturation measurements in the pediatric emergency clinic of İzmir Bakırçay University Cigli and Training and Research Hospital between October 2024 and October 2025.

Conditions

Infection; Oxygen Saturation; Children

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Measuring the arterial blood gas SpO2 saturation

  Finger SpO2 measurements will be initiated as soon as the blood gas measurement process starts. Pulse oximetry measurements and intra-arterial blood gas measurements will be performed

  Procedure

• without gloves measuring the SpO2 saturation

  While the patient was not wearing gloves, the pulse oximeter light source was placed on the outer surface of the finger. SpO2 was read after waiting an average of 30 seconds.

• SpO2 saturation measurement with transparent colored glove

  While the patient was wearing a transparent glove, the pulse oximeter light source was placed on the outer surface of the finger. SpO2 was read after waiting an average of 30 seconds.

• SpO2 saturation measurement with white colored glove

  While the patient was wearing a white glove, the pulse oximeter light source was placed on the outer surface of the finger. SpO2 was read after waiting an average of 30 seconds.

• SpO2 saturation measurement with black colored glove

  While the patient was wearing a black glove, the pulse oximeter light source was placed on the outer surface of the finger. SpO2 was read after waiting an average of 30 seconds.

• SpO2 saturation measurement with blue colored glove

  While the patient was wearing a blue glove, the pulse oximeter light source was placed on the outer surface of the finger. SpO2 was read after waiting an average of 30 seconds.

Study Arms (1)

Experimental

Children will be measured 5 times using a pulse oximeter. The measurements will be performed consecutively without any interval between them. The first measurement will be performed without using any gloves on the patient's finger, the second measurement will be performed using transparent gloves, the third measurement will be performed using white gloves, the fourth measurement will be performed using black gloves, and the fifth measurement will be performed using blue gloves.
