A Meta-Analysis about the Screening Role of Pulse Oximetry for Congenital Heart Disease

Comparative study of pulse oximetry, physical examination and echocardiography results in the diagnosis of congenital heart defects in neonates in the first 24 hours of life

Introduction: Congenital heart disease is the most common congenital anomaly. About 50% of Neonates with congenital heart disease are asymptomatic in the first few days of life and are not diagnosed on initial examination. Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method that can show the percentage of oxygen saturation in the blood and congenital heart disease. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-se...

Evaluation of Pulse Oximetry in the Early Detection of Congenital Heart Diseases in Newborns

Background: Congenital heart diseases, which are asymptomatic at birth, are the most important causes of infant mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the role of pulse oximetry in the early detection of congenital heart diseases among newborns.Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, 1230 newborns who were born in university hospitals in an urban area of Iran were placed unde...

Screening of Congenital Heart Disease in Newborns by Physical Examination and Pulse Oximetry in a Tertiary Care Center in Western Maharashtra

Objectives: To detect Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD) at an early stage and to find out its occurrence in asymptomatic healthy term newborns. To assess the role of pulse oximetry as a screening tool in CHD. Methods: All apparently healthy newborns delivered in a period of 1 year in Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Karad were screened for the presence of CHD by physical examination and pul...
