Brief Summary
The study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of continuous SpHb across a comprehensive pediatric age spectrum-ranging from neonates to adolescents-undergoing high-risk neurosurgical procedures (cranial and spinal) characterized by significant potential for blood loss.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Agreement and Correlation between Non-invasive Hemoglobin (SpHb) and Invasive Arterial Hemoglobin (Hb) levels.
Intraoperative period (from induction of anesthesia to extubation, approximately 2-5 hours
Study Arms (1)
Pediatric Neurosurgery Patients
Pediatric patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures requiring invasive arterial pressure monitoring and hemoglobin measurement
Interventions
Continuous non-invasive measurement of total hemoglobin (SpHb) using a pulse co-oximetry sensor during the surgery.
Eligibility Criteria

You may qualify if:
- ASA I-IV,
- Scheduled for elective complex spinal surgery or cranial procedures under general anesthesia
You may not qualify if:
- congenital heart disease
- requirement for emergency surgery
- pre-existing peripheral circulatory disorders
