About this trial

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.
