Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Accuracy compared to standard pulse oximeter.<br><br>Accuracy will be determined by using comparison of oxygen saturation measured by study pulse oximeter compared to oxygen saturation measured by standard pulse oximeter,[ At the time of drawing the usual baseline arterial blood gas, after the study pulse oximeter has been placed on the patient and allowed to reach a plateau after fifteen seconds.<br>];Accuracy compared to co-oximetry measurements.<br><br>Accuracy willl be determined using comparison of oxygen saturation from arterial blood gas measurements with study pulse oximeter readings.[ At the time of drawing the usual baseline arterial blood gas, after the study pulse oximeter has been placed on the patient and allowed to reach a plateau after fifteen seconds.<br>]
