Brief summary

The study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of continuous SpHb across a comprehensive pediatric age spectrum-ranging from neonates to adolescents-undergoing high-risk neurosurgical procedures (cranial and spinal) characterized by significant potential for blood loss.

Interventions
