Brief summary

Investigators compare the accuracy of the SpHb and hemocue with blood Hb levels

Detailed description

The goal of the study is to compare 3 methods of hemoglobin measurement in pediatric patients undergoing major surgery. During general anesthesia investigators will measure and compare at different periods of time blood hemoglobin levels obtained from a radial artery catheter with 2 non invasive methods of measurement using hemocue and SpHb
