readings was noted, with approximately 10% difference when adult sensors read 85%, but nearly similar (58.8%) readings when adult sensors read 55%. Estimating fixed differences of approximately 10% between adult and neonatal probes may lead to an inaccurate diagnosis of cerebral hypoxia and result in subsequent unnecessary interventions.
