Aim of work: Current study aims to establish the reference range profiles for oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry among three groups of some pediatric diseases. The study pediatric population selection based upon association between their underlying diseases and occurrence of oxygen desaturation. They are classified into group of cyanotic congenital heart disease, group of acyanotic congenital heart disease and third group of β-thalassemia major patients. Methods: Descriptive Cross sectional study was conducted in the department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Al-Fayoum University hospital from September 2017 to June 2018. Study group 1,2 consisted of 68 children from 2month-8 years had congenital heart diseases (35 cyanotic represents group 1) & (33 acyanotic represents group 2). 40 patients from 3.5-12 years with β

Alterations in arterial blood oxygen saturation, heart rate (HR), and respiratory rate (RR) are strongly associated with intra-hospital cardiac arrests and resuscitations. A wireless, easy-to-use, and comfortable method for monitoring these important clinical signs would be highly useful. We investigated whether the Nellcor™ OxiMask MAX-FAST forehead sensor could provide data for vital sign measurements when located at the distal forearm instead of its intended location at the forehead to provide improved comfortability and easy placement. In a prospective setting, we recruited 30 patients undergoing surgery requiring postoperative care. At the postoperative care unit, patients were monitored for two hours using a standard patient monitor and with a study device equipped with a Nellcor™ Forehead SpO sensor. The readings were electronically recorded and compared in post hoc analysis using Bland-Altman plots, Spearman's correlation, and root-mean-square error (RMSE). Bland-Altman plot showed that saturation (SpO) differed by a mean of -0.2 % points (SD, 4.6), with a patient-weighted Spearman's correlation (r) of 0.142, and an RMSE of 4.2 points. For HR measurements, the mean difference was 0.6 bpm (SD, 2.5), r = 0.997, and RMSE = 1.8. For RR, the mean difference was -0.5 1/min (4.1), r = 0.586, and RMSE = 4.0. The SpO readings showed a low mean difference, but also a low correlation and high RMSE, indicating that the Nellcor™ saturation sensor cannot reliably assess oxygen saturation at the forearm when compared to finger PPG measurements.

In hospitals, oxygen is the most frequently administered medication to pediatric in-patients. Too much oxygen in arterial blood is not a natural occurrence, consequently hyperoxia can be caused by healthcare providers. The aim of this scoping study was to synthesize evidence that could contribute to safe and appropriate oxygen treatment in children 0-3 years of age. The method was in line with Arksey and O'Malley's framework, and 11 research articles regarding oxygen treatment were included. The main results are presented as three key findings: 1) overview of assessing the need for oxygen based on the use of pulse oximetry, 2) overview of oxygen treatment, and 3) overview of the need for educational intervention. In conclusion, there is a shortage of research literature to guide nurses in assessment of oxygen requirements, and administration of oxygen treatment in critically ill children. Consensus and guidelines are needed, as there are variations in practice regarding oxygen treatment.

Abstract: The results of the current study revealed that the wrist and ankle can be alternative placement sites for the measurement of SpO2 in newborn and infants instead of the routinely used palm or sole.
