Abstract

In this editorial, we use the Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI) as an example to discuss the challenges of implementing novel monitoring methods in pediatric anesthesia from both a technical and physiological angle. Challenges with implementing methods originally intended and validated for use in adults are also examined.
