Pediatric Pulse Oximeters come in two types:
Masimo Pulse Oximeters are particularly useful in neonates and infants as they are more tolerant to motion and low perfusion artifacts. The Masimo Neonatal Adhesive Sensor requires a separate cable which is available with the anesthesia techs in the work-room
Pediatric NIBP Cuffs come in 3 sizes: Infant (orange), Toddler (green) and Older child (Blue)
Neonatal (white) NIBP cuffs come in 4 sizes (1-4). A separate compatible cable is required and stocked in the Anesthesia Work-Room
Pediatric EKG leads come in a 3-lead package labeled as Neonatal EKG Leads. The are color coded (white, black and green). The Green Colored Lead is in fact the Red (Left Leg) Electrode and should therefore get plugged into the center red slot on the EKG connector cable.
