The study involves the use of the Masimo SpHb® (Spectrophotometric Hemoglobin), a non-invasive monitoring device currently used in clinical settings. The device is handheld and connected to a computer\u002Ftablet for recording measurements. It will be placed on the child's skin to measure the child's hemoglobin. The procedure does not involve needles, radiation, or painful interventions.\n\nWhy is this study important?\n\nBabies in NICU often have anemia, where their red blood cells level is low. To monitor this condition, babies often need repeated blood tests, which can cause pain and blood loss. This study may help reduce unnecessary blood sampling in the future.\n\nWhat type of study is this?\n\nThis is an observational study. We will compare readings from a non-invasive device with routine blood test results.\n\nWhat is the procedure that is being tested? A device called Masimo SpHb® is placed on the baby's skin to measure haemoglobin using light. No blood is taken for this measurement.",[45],{"label":46,"type":47,"description":48,"interventionNames":49},"SpHb","EXPERIMENTAL","Infants admitted to the NICU will undergo non-invasive SpHb measurement, with results compared against laboratory haemoglobin values obtained as part of routine clinical care.",[50],"Device: Spectrophotometry hemoglobin",[52],{"type":53,"name":54,"description":55,"armGroupLabels":56,"otherNames":57},"DEVICE","Spectrophotometry hemoglobin","1.
