Cooling Therapy
for Pediatric Cardiac Arrest
This trial is testing if cooling the body can help protect the brains of children who are in a coma after a heart attack. The researchers believe that keeping the body cool might help more children recover well or improve the recovery of those already doing well.

Pulse Oximetry Accuracy
for Newborns with Different Skin Pigmentations
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if pulse oximeters show an SaO2-SpO2 discrepancy that correlates with skin pigmentation such that pulse oximetry will overestimate oxygenation in newborns with darker skin. The main questions it aims to answer is if SaO2-SpO2 discrepancy varies with the degree of skin pigmentation among neonates, if gestational age has an influence on SaO2-SpO2 discrepancy, and if packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion has an influence on SaO2-SpO2 discrepancy in newborns with various degrees of light and dark skin. Researchers will compare SaO2 and SpO2 values in neonates of various skin pigmentation.
