Pulse oximetry screening for congenital heart disease.
The recent paper by Ewer et al 1 and an accompanying editorial 2 in the Lancet raised the question of universal pulse oximetry screening of newborn infants on the postnatal ward prior to discharge. In the Republic of Ireland there are 75,000 births annually, distributed across nineteen maternity units. We surveyed all of these units regarding the use of oxygen saturation screening on the postna...
متن کاملImplication of pulse oxymetry screening for detection of congenital heart defects.
BACKGROUND In newborns congenital heart defects can take an asymptomatic course, causing a diagnostic gap in the routine examination. Therefore pulsoxymetric screening is under discussion, as it could close this diagnostic gap. PATIENTS AND METHODS Non-invasive postductal peripheral oxygen saturation assessment was carried out in 3 364 term neonates, 6-36 h of age, in 2008. In asymptomatic ne...
متن کاملCritical congenital heart disease screening using pulse oximetry.
A national approach to screening for critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) using pulse oximetry was undertaken in the United States. Following the scientific studies that laid the groundwork for the addition of CCHD screening to the U.S. Recommended Uniform Screening Panel (RUSP) and endorsement by professional societies, advocates including physicians, nurses, parents, medical associations,...
متن کاملPulse Oximetry Screening to Detect Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease in Sick Neonates in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate pulse oximetry for detection of congenital cyanotic heart disease in sick neonates using echocardiography as gold standard. METHODS Pulse oximetry readings were taken at admission from 950 neonates from right upper limb and either foot with infant breathing room air. Pulse oximetry was considered abnormal if oxygen saturation at room air measured <90% or difference betwe...
متن کاملPulse oximetry screening for critical congenital heart defects.
BACKGROUND Health outcomes are improved when newborn babies with critical congenital heart defects (CCHDs) are detected before acute cardiovascular collapse. The main screening tests used to identify these babies include prenatal ultrasonography and postnatal clinical examination; however, even though both of these methods are available, a significant proportion of babies are still missed. Rout...
