 Who
should be screened? All infants should be screened. When
should screening be performed? Pulse ox screening should be performed before discharge from the nursery, after the infant turns 24 hours of age. If the infant was born prematurely, screening should be performed when medically appropriate. If early discharge is planned, screening should occur as late as possible. Where
should pulse ox screening be performed? Pulse ox screening should be performed while the infant is in the nursery, before he or she goes home. The pulse ox test should be performed on the right hand and one foot. Vision:

 Pulse ox was invented in the 1970s and is now widely used and accepted in clinical care; it is often thought to be a basic vital sign. Why
is pulse ox used to screen for CHD? Pulse ox can help to identify infants with critical CHD that may have low levels of oxygen in their blood. Pulse ox screening may help diagnose critical CHD before an infant becomes sick. Who
should be screened? All infants should be screened. When
should screening be performed? Pulse ox screening should be performed before discharge from the nursery, after the infant turns 24 hours of age. If the infant was born prematurely, screening should be performed when medically appropriate.

 To find contact information for your state's Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) program, click here. Pulse Oximetry Testing: Pulse oximetry, or pulse ox, is a non-invasive
A medical test or procedure that does not require a doctor to insert any device through the skin or into a body opening
test that measures how much oxygen is in the blood. Infants with heart problems may have low blood oxygen levels, and therefore, the pulse ox test can help identify babies that may have Critical Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD). The test is done using a machine called a pulse oximeter, using a painless sensor placed on the baby’s skin. The pulse ox test only takes a couple of minutes and is performed after the baby is 24 hours old and before he or she leaves the newborn nursery. Why are all babies screened at birth? Most babies are born healthy. However, some infants have a serious medical condition even though they look and act like all newborns. These babies generally come from families with no previous history of a condition.

PULSE OXIMETRY SCREENING OF NEWBORNS

By: John Kasprak, Senior Attorney
You asked for information on pulse oximetry screening of newborns for congenital heart disease. You are interested in basic information about the procedure; its costs, including equipment and provider time; other states'activities in requiring such screening; and any other relevant information such as research studies. SUMMARY
Pulse oximetry screening is a simple and non-invasive procedure used to measure how much oxygen is in the blood and has been found effective in screening for congenital heart disease (CHD) in newborns. It uses a light source and sensor (probe) to measure oxygen in the blood. Last year, the Advisory Committee on Heritable Diseases in Newborns and Children, which advises the federal Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary, recommended that pulse oximetry screening for CHD be added to the uniform screenings for newborns. Citing “evidence gaps,” the HHS secretary did not adopt the recommendation.

 Test: This test is used to evaluate the auditory brain stem (the part of the nerve that carries sound from the ear to the brain) and the brain’s response to sound. During this test, miniature earphones are placed in the ear and sounds are played. Band-Aid-like electrodes are placed along the baby’s head to detect the brain’s response to the sounds. If the baby’s brain does not respond consistently to the sounds, there may be a hearing problem.

However, if you have a bigger baby who is younger than two, then it can also be measured using this oximeter. We love that this pulse oximeter uses OLED screen display. It can also display the readings in any direction so no worries about you having to turn the entire pulse oximeter just to read the display. The display has a plethysmograph waveform which makes it easier for us to determine the strength of you and your child's heartbeat. It's like a wave that literally shows what your heartbeat would look like as an image.

Infants with heart problems may have low blood oxygen levels, and therefore, the pulse ox test can help identify babies that may have Critical Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD). The test is done using a machine called a pulse oximeter, which is a sensor placed on the baby’s skin. The pulse ox test only takes a couple of minutes and is performed after the baby is 24 hours old and before he or she leaves the newborn nursery. . Blood Test: First, a physician
A person licensed to practice medicine, also known as a medical doctor
, nurse, midwife
A person who is trained to assist women with childbirth
, or other trained member of the hospital staff will fill out a newborn screening card. One part of this card is the filter paper
A porous paper that is used to store the baby's blood sample for newborn screening
to collect the baby’s blood sample
When blood is drawn from the human body in order to be tested for medical purposes

PEDIATRIC PULSE OXIMETER INFORMATION
Pediatric pulse oximeters are designed to be able read oxygen (SpO2 %) and heart rate from primarily the toes and/or fingers of neonates (under 8lbs.), infants (5 to 45 lbs.), and children (under 75 lbs.). The most common type of pediatric pulse oximeters are hand held pulse oximeters with a sensor that is designed specifically for the weight/size of the child. Hand held oximeters are preferred because you can use different sensors depending on the size of the person. Hand held oximeters can also take readings from the forehead and ear with the appropriate sensor. Ears and/or foreheads can be used as a location to take a reading but it is not recommended for children under 50 lbs. The Nonin Onyx Vantage 9590 finger pulse oximeter has been cleared by the FDA for accuracy to be used to take readings from a toe. The Nonin 9590 can be used on fingers/toes as thin as 8 mm (0.3 inches).

 and any other relevant information such as research studies. SUMMARY
Pulse oximetry screening is a simple and non-invasive procedure used to measure how much oxygen is in the blood and has been found effective in screening for congenital heart disease (CHD) in newborns. It uses a light source and sensor (probe) to measure oxygen in the blood. Last year, the Advisory Committee on Heritable Diseases in Newborns and Children, which advises the federal Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary, recommended that pulse oximetry screening for CHD be added to the uniform screenings for newborns. Citing “evidence gaps,” the HHS secretary did not adopt the recommendation. But an interagency coordinating committee on newborn screening is further examining the issue and should be submitting a plan to the HHS secretary shortly. The American Heart Association (AHA) views pulse oximetry testing of newborns as an effective and inexpensive tool to assist in diagnosing CHD. A large scale study recently performed in the United Kingdom supports pulse oximetry screening for newborns. The United States has not had a study of comparable size to date. Three states (New Jersey, Maryland, and Indiana) have passed legislation requiring pulse oximetry screening of all newborns.

What is pulse oximetry and why do patients need it? A pulse oximetry (pulse ox) is a small clothes pin looking piece
of equipment, usually placed on the patients finger, used to
measure the amount of oxygen in the blood. The pulse ox. is
noninvasive, very inexpensive, readilyavailable and it provides
instant results. If a pulse ox. reading is low then the caregiver
would likely apply oxygen to the patient. If it is a high reading
the caregiver would likely remove or decrease the amount of oxygen
the patient is on. Because there are factors that can interfere
with an accurate reading, there are other ways to test the oxygen
levels in the blood. What is a good sentence for pulse? The patient's pulse was weak and irregular.

 Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther, who sponsored the Assembly bill, said, When a family is expecting a baby there is so much to be excited about - the nursery, baby clothes, the safest car seat, the best stroller. But there is one critical detail that cant be overlooked: a simple check of the babys heart health. Im proud to have sponsored the pulse ox bill. Pulse ox is simple, painless and more importantly could save a babys life. All babies deserve a healthy start with a healthy heart. Pulse oximetry screening, which tests the amount of oxygen in a newborns blood, can detect many CHDs and most types of CCHDs, which often are not identified through other screening methods for CHD, such as prenatal ultrasounds and routine newborn physical examinations. The screening is non-invasive and painless. It is conducted by attaching sensors to a babys hand and foot between 24 and 48 hours of his or her birth. If oxygen levels are too low, additional tests would then be conducted to detect any potential heart defects that may be present in the baby.

 Some forms of CHD cause no or very few problems in the health, growth, and development of the infant. However, critical CHD can bring a significant risk of morbidity and mortality if not diagnosed soon after birth. Failing to detect critical CHD while in the newborn nursery may lead to critical events such as cardiogenic shock or death. Survivors who present late are at greater risk for neurologic injury and subsequent developmental delay. Pulse oximetry, or “pulse ox,” is a simple, non-invasive and painless test that is used to measure the percent oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in the arterial blood and the pulse rate. Pulse ox was invented in the 1970s and is now widely used and accepted in clinical care; it is often thought to be a basic vital sign. Why
is pulse ox used to screen for CHD? Pulse ox can help to identify infants with critical CHD that may have low levels of oxygen in their blood. Pulse ox screening may help diagnose critical CHD before an infant becomes sick.

 By finding the medical problem soon after birth, babies quickly receive the treatment they need. Newborn screening improves the health and development of babies. Every year in Ohio, more than 500 newborns needing medical care are identified by newborn screening. Nearly 200 infants are identified as deaf or with hearing loss, an additional 80 infants are diagnosed with serious heart diseases, and about 300 more infants are identified with serious medical conditions that can be found by testing the baby’s blood. Babies born in Ohio have three different newborn screening tests done shortly after birth. A hearing screen to check to for hearing loss and a pulse oximetry

This toolkit is an outstanding product that is the end result of much consideration and research, and will provide a straightforward, easy-to-use method to screen for cyanotic and serious forms of congenital heart disease in newborns. This program allows for a reliable, low-cost, high-throughput early detection program in the nursery setting, reducing the risks of complications from delayed diagnosis. I applaud the organizers and coordinators and hope that newborn pulse oximetry screening will quickly become widely implemented as standard of care. Through our expereince with research and helping hospitals to start CCHD screening programs in their nurseries we have learned a lot about best-practice for implementation.

The Wellue KidsO2 Oxygen Monitor gives caregivers an accurate and dependable method for monitoring a child's oxygenation levels and heart rate.
 This device clips on to the end of your finger and takes both blood oxygenation readings and checks your heart rate at the same time. The readings for both are then displayed on a large, easy-to-read screen, which also shows battery life, pulse strength, and other pertinent information. But those features aren't all this model offers. The device also pairs with your smartphone via Bluetooth to track oxygenation and heart rate levels over extended periods of time. iChoice developed an app for iOS and Android that stores that data and compares results by the day, week, month, and even years. This is especially helpful for patients with long-term or chronic illnesses who are monitoring their cardiovascular performance on a routine basis. The app also comes with tips on how to use the pulse oximeter to monitor stress and anxiety. The software includes a virtual coach to help teach users to control their emotions and learn to relax when they start to feel overwhelmed. There are even guided meditation techniques that work in conjunction with the pulse oximeter to encourage using a series of breathing exercises to calm frayed nerves and release tension. The designers say it helps users sleep better, too.

 What is pulse oximetry? Pulse oximetry ( also called pulse ox ) is a simple and painless test that measures the level oxygen is in the blood. There are types of CCHD that cause lower than usual blood oxygen levels and those can be picked up by pulse oximetry―even before a baby becomes sick. Early detection and appropriate management can then be provided and may improve a baby's outcome. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends pulse oximetry be performed at all newborn screenings to detect CCHD. As of 2018, policies for screening newborns have been implemented in all states in the U.S.
Fetal ultrasounds of the heart do not detect all types of heart defects. While many problems in the fetal heart are now found early by fetal ultrasounds―and families are getting referred earlier to pediatric cardiologists for further care, there are still cases of CHD that can be missed. Many newborns develop signs and symptoms of CCHD such as turning very blue or breathing fast right after birth. Those babies are diagnosed and treated before being discharged from the hospital. However, there are babies with certain types of CCHD who may look and act healthy for several days before becoming suddenly seriously ill at home.

Pulse oximetry, or pulse ox, is a painless, non-invasive test that measures how much oxygen is in the blood. Infants with heart problems may have low blood oxygen levels, and therefore, the pulse ox test can help identify babies that may have Critical Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD). The test is done using a machine called a pulse oximeter, which is a sensor placed on the baby’s skin. The pulse ox test only takes a couple of minutes and is performed after the baby is 24 hours old and before he or she leaves the newborn nursery. to measure the amount of oxygen in the baby’s blood, and a hearing screening. These tests should be performed when babies are 24 to 48 hours old. If the baby was born in a hospital, the newborn screening tests will be completed prior to being discharged. If the baby was born at home or in a birth facility, the midwife
A person who is trained to assist women with childbirth
or doctor attending the birth will provide information as to what steps need to be taken to have the newborn screening tests completed for the baby. Newborn screening does not confirm a baby has a condition.

Pulse oximeters provide a real-time reading of someone's blood oxygen levels, heart rate, and blood pressure, and can assist in determining their current wellbeing. Though they're often used in doctors' offices, pulse oximeters are available for home use, too, in the form of either a fingertip sensor, a device worn around the wrist, or something that's handheld. We researched a selection of pulse oximeters currently available to find a reliable option for each type, including a budget option and a model designed specifically for kids. This article was medically reviewed by Dr. Jason R. McKnight, MD, MS, a family medicine physician and clinical assistant professor at Texas A&M College of Medicine. A pulse oximeter is a device that offers a reliable method for checking vitals such as blood oxygen levels, blood pressure, and heart rate. To medical professionals, this kind of data helps provide a quick assessment of a person's current state of health. Though access to these devices is often done by visiting a doctors' office, at-home pulse oximeters allow anyone to monitor that data from home, as well. Some are even compatible with companion smartphone applications to chart readings on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, and can automatically transmit measured vitals to a doctor if need be. The different types of pulse oximeters
The most common of these devices affix to a patient's fingertip, though there are also versions that can either be worn around your wrist or held in your hand.

 The readings in children depend on various factors, including the heartbeat. For a normal adult, the heart rate is 60 to 80 beats a minute. The heart rate of infants and children is relatively higher. It can range from 120 to 150 a minute for infants and 60 to 120 beats per minute for children between 5 to 12 years of age. Pulse oximeters can be considered as one of the best inventions to measure the blood oxygen saturation, as it does not require any blood sample to be taken. They are being used in various medical situations especially during a patients’s recovery phase. Readings are most accurate under a few controlled settings. Would you like to write for us?

A pulse oximetry reading, such as the one shown here, indicates the percentage of hemoglobin in the red blood cells that contains oxygen. Normal is over 95%, while babies with heart defects can have saturations from 60% to 94%, or there may be a significant difference between saturations measured in the arms and legs. Babies who have a positive pulse oximetry screening should be evaluated by a pediatric cardiologist. A pulse oximetry screen is a noninvasive (and painless) test performed on all newborn babies to determine the level of oxygen in their blood. This test uses rays of light of different wavelengths to measure the percent of hemoglobin (the part of blood that carries oxygen) that is filled with oxygen. Normally, a newborn baby should have an oxygen saturation level that is greater than 95%. Screening using pulse oximetry can detect some infants with congenital heart disease who otherwise may go undetected for a while. There are some congenital heart defects that cause a newborn baby to have lower oxygen saturation in the blood after birth. It often can be difficult to determine if a baby has cyanosis ( bluish discoloration of the skin due to poor oxygen content of the blood) just by looking at him or her after birth.

A pulse oximetry reading, such as the one shown here, indicates the percentage of hemoglobin in the red blood cells that contains oxygen. Normal is over 95%, while babies with heart defects can have saturations from 60% to 94%, or there may be a significant difference between saturations measured in the arms and legs. Babies who have a positive pulse oximetry screening should be evaluated by a pediatric cardiologist. A pulse oximetry screen is a noninvasive (and painless) test performed on all newborn babies to determine the level of oxygen in their blood. This test uses rays of light of different wavelengths to measure the percent of hemoglobin (the part of blood that carries oxygen) that is filled with oxygen. Normally, a newborn baby should have an oxygen saturation level that is greater than 95%. Screening using pulse oximetry can detect some infants with congenital heart disease who otherwise may go undetected for a while. There are some congenital heart defects that cause a newborn baby to have lower oxygen saturation in the blood after birth. It often can be difficult to determine if a baby has cyanosis ( bluish discoloration of the skin due to poor oxygen content of the blood) just by looking at him or her after birth. How Is a Pulse Oximetry Test Performed?

 When taking readings, keep finger as well as body as still as possible. Any movement will affect the accuracy of the readings as the device will reset with each detected movement. 4. Excessive ambient infrared light, for example in an overly bright lit room, can interfere with the device sensor. Make sure that you are in a moderately lit room when taking readings. 5. Poor blood circulation can affect oximeter readings. If your hands are cold, warm your hands and fingers before taking readings. 6. As the pulse oximeter is measuring SpO2 and Pulse Rate based on blood flow, it is not suitable for use by people with certain medical conditions, such as anemia, hypotension and hypothermia.

Pulse oximeters provide a real-time reading of someone's blood oxygen levels, heart rate, and blood pressure, and can assist in determining their current wellbeing. Though they're often used in doctors' offices, pulse oximeters are available for home use, too, in the form of either a fingertip sensor, a device worn around the wrist, or something that's handheld. We researched a selection of pulse oximeters currently available to find a reliable option for each type, including a budget option and a model designed specifically for kids. This article was medically reviewed by Dr. Jason R. McKnight, MD, MS, a family medicine physician and clinical assistant professor at Texas A&M College of Medicine.

The Wellue KidsO2 Oxygen Monitor gives caregivers an accurate and dependable method for monitoring a child's oxygenation levels and heart rate.
 With a pulse oximeter, it's possible to monitor someone's condition closely and to know when their oxygenation levels start to get dangerously low. The device allows someone who's self-isolating to get a better sense of these conditions and whether it's time to see a doctor. Because of this, there's been a recent increase in demand for pulse oximeters, with more people adding them to their first aid kits and medicine cabinets. If you've considered purchasing one yourself, you've likely discovered there are dozens of them to choose from. Unsurprisingly, not all pulse oximeters are of high quality, making it challenging to decide which to buy.

Newborn Pulse Oximetry Screening to Detect Critical Congenital Heart Disease - HealthyChildren.org Newborn Pulse Oximetry Screening to Detect Critical Congenital Heart Disease
Newborn Pulse Oximetry Screening to Detect Critical Congenital Heart Disease
What is pulse oximetry?
Fetal ultrasounds of the heart do not detect all types of heart defects.
How is this screening is done?
What happens a baby fails the pulse oximetry screening?
If a baby passes the pulse oximetry screening, does it mean he or she has no heart defects?
Even if a baby passes the pulse oximetry screening, parents should watch:
Additional Information & Resources:
 How is this screening is done? A small soft sensor is wrapped around the baby's right hand and one foot. The sensor is hooked up to a monitor for about 5 minutes and measures the oxygen level in the blood and the heart rate. It is fast, easy, and does not hurt. Pulse oximetry screening is done after 24 hours after birth to allow the baby's heart and lungs to fully adjust to life outside his or her mother. After the screening is completed, the doctor or nurse will go over the reading with the baby's parents. What happens a baby fails the pulse oximetry screening? If the screening test suggests a problem, additional testing to evaluate for CHD or for other potential causes of low oxygen will be necessary before the baby will be discharged from the hospital. Testing may include a chest radiography and bloodwork. A thorough ultrasound of the baby's heart called an echocardiogram will be performed and read by a pediatric cardiologist.

There are benefits of being a stay at home parent and one of them is that you can pay more attention to your children especially if you have a child with lung problems. In terms of monitoring your kid's constant health, you need to use a pulse oximeter and we suggest that your use this pediatric pulse oximeter. This is one of our top picks for the best hospital grade pulse oximeter for children. Pediatric pulse oximeters are made differently for kids at younger than 10 or 12 because of the size of the fingers and the thinness of children's fingertips making it quite difficult to make a reading with a typical pulse oximeter.

 Pulse oximetry testing before discharge may be one important strategy for such screening as it can be an effective, noninvasive, inexpensive tool to assist in diagnosing critical congenital heart disease. While the risk for use of this screening is minimal, and the benefits are still being fully elucidated, the AHA reaffirms its current recommendation supporting consideration of pulse oximetry as a screening methodology (Class IIA-Level of Evidence C)1based on consensus science versus extensive randomized controlled trials. RECENT UNITED KINGDOM STUDY
In one of the largest studies of its kind, United Kingdom researchers have demonstrated that pulse oximetry testing of newborns improves the detection of critical congenital heart disease, identifying defects that go undetected with antenatal ultrasound. The study, published in Lancet this month, involved the pulse oximetry screening, between February 2008 and January 2009, of 20,055 apparently healthy newborns from six maternity units across the United Kingdom. Of the total number of babies, 53 had major congenital heart disease (24 critical), a prevalence of 2.6 per 1000 live births. Pulse oximetry detected 75% of the critical cases and 49% of all major congenital heart defects. Lead author of the study Dr. Andrew Ewer stated that “pulse oximetry is a better more sensitive test than antenatal ultrasound and physical exam, although we are not suggesting we should replace those, but rather include pulse-ox as an additional screening tool, which would allow us to identify the majority of babies with critical congenital heart disease.” For a link to the study go to: http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(11)60753-8/fulltext

Zacurate Children Pulse Oximeter
About the Product
The children pulse oximeter is portable, non-invasive, and easy to use.

The probe does not puncture the skin and the measurement can usually be read in 30 to 60 seconds. Why is Pulse Oximetry Used to Screen for CHD? Pulse oximetry is used to measure how much oxygen is in the blood. It is a routinely used test that can be used to monitor a baby's oxygen level during a procedure or treatment and can also be helpful in determining if a baby's heart and lungs are healthy. Pulse oximetry can also help to identify babies with serious heart problems due to low levels of oxygen in their blood. A health care provider may ask for more testing (such as an ultrasound of the heart or an echocardiogram) when a low pulse oximetry reading is identified. Who Should be Screened and When Will the Test be Done? According to the Children's National Medical Center, all babies in the newborn nursery who are not already thought to have CHD should be screened. The pulse oximetry test should be performed when a baby is older than 24 hours. What is a Normal Reading?

 These kinds of screenings can detect a variety of vision problems. They can also help detect conditions like neurological diseases and tumors that may affect your child’s vision. Regular vision screenings are recommended throughout childhood. These screenings will indicate whether your child needs a more comprehensive, complete eye exam. Vision Screening Program
Children’s Hospital & Medical Center, in collaboration with Omaha Public Schools (OPS) and local nursing colleges, provides vision screenings to students in the OPS school district. OPS school students, who are categorized under the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services state-mandated health screening guidelines, participate in a vision screening program. Students not categorized under DHHS will still be seen with parental consent. Once results are analyzed and relayed to the OPS school nurse, and it is determined that the child needs a more comprehensive exam, the Vision Screening staff will work with OPS to ensure a proper referral process takes place. For questions or more information, please email our Vision Screening Coordinator, Sarah Harter at sharter@childrensomaha.org

Children’s Hospital & Medical Center, in collaboration with Omaha Public Schools (OPS) and local nursing colleges, provides vision screenings to students in the OPS school district. OPS school students, who are categorized under the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services state-mandated health screening guidelines, participate in a vision screening program. Students not categorized under DHHS will still be seen with parental consent. Once results are analyzed and relayed to the OPS school nurse, and it is determined that the child needs a more comprehensive exam, the Vision Screening staff will work with OPS to ensure a proper referral process takes place. For questions or more information, please email our Vision Screening Coordinator, Sarah Harter at sharter@childrensomaha.org
Mailed inquiries for the Vision Screening Program should be addressed to: Children’s Hospital & Medical Center

 How to Interpret Pulse Oximeter Readings
Pediatric Pulse Oximeter
When using pediatric pulse oximeter, two things that you have to be aware when taking SpO2 measurements for infants and children. A study was performed to determine the precision and accuracy of pediatric pulse oximeter readings at different locations with 50 critically ill children, from newborn to two years. The results indicated that readings at toe were more accurate than at sole and readings at palm and fingers were comparable. However, when the SpO2 was less than 90%, readings from the toe and finger were more accurate than those from the sole and palm. For infants and young children, a handheld pulse oximeter with pediatric oximeter probe is preferred over a finger pulse oximeter. For a handheld oximeter, only the sensor is attached to the patient and this minimizes the issues caused by the patient's movement. Furthermore, with different types of probe, it can grasp onto the patients better. Nonin and Choice Oximeter Review - Normal Cases
By testing the four oximeters (Onyx 9500, GO2, MD300C63, and MD300C1) under a wide range of simulated conditions, there is no significant difference in their performance. Nonin and Choice Oximeter Review - Low Perfusion
When testing the pulse oximeters with weak signals, they all performed well until the signal strength was below 0.4%. Nonin oximeters kept on working while Choice oximeters failed.

To assess arterial blood oxygenation toward evaluating respiratory status during ventilation, acute illness, activity, and sleep and to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions. Area of application
Earlobe, fingertip; for infants, use the large toe, top or bottom of the foot, or sides of the ankle. Contrast
None. Description
Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive study that provides continuous readings of arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) using a sensor site (earlobe or fingertip). The SpO2 equals the ratio of the amount of O 2 contained in the hemoglobin to the maximum amount of O 2 contained, with hemoglobin expressed as a percentage. The results obtained may compare favorably with O 2 saturation levels obtained by arterial blood gas analysis without the need to perform successive arterial punctures.

Most regular pulse oximeters will have a difficult time getting a read off the small, thin fingers of children. But this pediatric version is made to fit the fingers of kids between two and 10 and is quite accurate in its readings. And the face rocks a cute polar bear design, making medical readings a little less scary for your kiddo. We love that the display is not only clear and bright for easy use, but also lets you rotate the direction of the numbers so it's readable from in front of your child or next to them. The Zacurate also reads heart rates, displayed via a plethysmograph waveform —essentially the most bare-minimum visualization of a heartbeat, so it's easy to read and interpret at a glance.

A drop in oxygen saturation in infants in neonatal intensive care units may be detected using pulse oximetry. Some benefits of pulse oximetry include: monitoring oxygen saturation over time
alerting to dangerously low oxygen levels, particularly in newborns
offering peace of mind to people with chronic respiratory or cardiovascular conditions
assessing the need for supplemental oxygen
monitoring oxygen saturation levels in people under anesthesia
indicating dangerous side effects in people taking drugs that affect breathing or oxygen saturation
Pulse oximeters are now widely available to buy online, so some people without specific risk factors may use them. Some companies now market pulse oximeters to parents of young infants. These devices promise peace of mind to parents concerned about sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and sleeping accidents, but no research

 fluid volumes that are too low (under-hydration) or too high (over-hydration) have been shown to decrease wound healing and increase the risk of infection or cardiac complications. Recently, the National Health Service in the United Kingdom and the French Anesthesia and Critical Care Society listed PVI monitoring as part of their suggested strategies for intra-operative fluid management. In 2011, an expert workgroup recommended newborn screening with pulse oximetry to increase the detection of critical congenital heart disease (CCHD). The CCHD workgroup cited the results of two large, prospective studies of 59,876 subjects that exclusively used signal extraction technology to increase the identification of CCHD with minimal false positives. The CCHD workgroup recommended newborn screening be performed with motion tolerant pulse oximetry that has also been validated in low perfusion conditions. In 2011, the US Secretary of Health and Human Services added pulse oximetry to the recommended uniform screening panel. Before the evidence for screening using signal extraction technology, less than 1% of newborns in the United States were screened. Today, The Newborn Foundation has documented near universal screening in the United States and international screening is rapidly expanding. In 2014, a third large study of 122,738 newborns that also exclusively used signal extraction technology showed similar, positive results as the first two large studies. High-resolution pulse oximetry (HRPO) has been developed for in-home sleep apnea screening and testing in patients for whom it is impractical to perform polysomnography.

Pulse Oximetry Screening for Babies
How Is a Pulse Oximetry Test Performed?
Is Pulse Oximetry Testing Safe?
Why Is Pulse Oximetry Testing Important?
 Normally, a newborn baby should have an oxygen saturation level that is greater than 95%. Screening using pulse oximetry can detect some infants with congenital heart disease who otherwise may go undetected for a while. There are some congenital heart defects that cause a newborn baby to have lower oxygen saturation in the blood after birth. It often can be difficult to determine if a baby has cyanosis ( bluish discoloration of the skin due to poor oxygen content of the blood) just by looking at him or her after birth. How Is a Pulse Oximetry Test Performed? The pulse oximeter has a lighted probe that is temporarily attached to the baby’s finger, ear lobe, or foot. Once the baby’s finger is attached to the probe (usually by a sticker), the red light of the probe reads the amount of oxygen carried by the blood. The oxygen level is tested in both arms and both feet. In some kinds of congenital heart disease, the numbers can be different in the arms compared to the legs. It also helps to validate the test to do it in all of the extremities.

What is pulse oximetry?
Fetal ultrasounds of the heart do not detect all types of heart defects.
How is this screening is done?
What happens a baby fails the pulse oximetry screening?
If a baby passes the pulse oximetry screening, does it mean he or she has no heart defects?
Even if a baby passes the pulse oximetry screening, parents should watch:
Additional Information & Resources:
 After the screening is completed, the doctor or nurse will go over the reading with the baby's parents. What happens a baby fails the pulse oximetry screening? If the screening test suggests a problem, additional testing to evaluate for CHD or for other potential causes of low oxygen will be necessary before the baby will be discharged from the hospital. Testing may include a chest radiography and bloodwork. A thorough ultrasound of the baby's heart called an echocardiogram will be performed and read by a pediatric cardiologist. The echo will evaluate all the structures and function of the baby's heart in detail. If the baby's echo shows any problems, the baby's medical team will discuss next steps with the parents in detail. See Common Types of Cardiac Testing for more information. Note: As with any screening test, sometimes there can be times when the pulse oximetry screening test is not correct.

Newborn Pulse Oximetry Screening to Detect Critical Congenital Heart Disease - HealthyChildren.org Newborn Pulse Oximetry Screening to Detect Critical Congenital Heart Disease
Newborn Pulse Oximetry Screening to Detect Critical Congenital Heart Disease
What is pulse oximetry?
Fetal ultrasounds of the heart do not detect all types of heart defects.
How is this screening is done?
What happens a baby fails the pulse oximetry screening?
If a baby passes the pulse oximetry screening, does it mean he or she has no heart defects?
Even if a baby passes the pulse oximetry screening, parents should watch:
Additional Information & Resources:
 Sometimes there can be false positives, meaning that while the pulse ox screen suggests a problem, the echo will be reassuring that the heart is normal. Just because a baby fails the pulse oximetry screening test does not mean that the baby has a heart defect. There are other reasons that a baby may have lower oxygen levels, such as infection or lung problems. These are also very helpful to be picked up early. As well, some healthy babies can have a low pulse oximetry reading while their heart and lungs are adjusting after birth. If a baby passes the pulse oximetry screening, does it mean he or she has no heart defects? Unfortunately, no. Pulse oximetry testing picks up only some types of CHD. Heart defects which are not causing a low blood oxygen level at the time of the screen are not picked up by the test. Even if a baby passes the pulse oximetry screening, parents should watch:

Summary
 Newborn screening for CCHD uses pulse oximetry, a noninvasive technology to measure blood oxygen saturation. Low oxygen saturation indicates hypoxemia, an early clinical sign of CCHD. Additional testing (e.g., repeat screening, echocardiogram) is needed following an abnormal pulse oximetry screen ( 1) to determine whether CCHD are present (or to determine the cause of the abnormal result). Thus, unlike most newborn screening conditions, screening for CCHD is not based on performing a blood test. In addition, hypoxemia detected by screening could indicate a medical problem, and requires immediate follow-up before discharge from the hospital. When accompanied by early identification and treatment, newborn screening provides an opportunity to reduce infant morbidity and mortality ( 2, 3 ). The Secretary's Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children has provided national guidelines and recommendations on newborn screening, known as the RUSP, and this panel is reviewed and endorsed by the HHS Secretary ( 3 ). As of March 2015, 32 conditions were included in the RUSP. States use the RUSP as guidance when considering adopting conditions for their own screening panels ( 3 ). State decisions might differ depending on method of screening required or the legislative authority of the newborn screening program.

Screening Newborns for Critical Congenital Heart Disease Screening Newborns for Critical Congenital Heart Disease
Screening Newborns for Critical Congenital Heart Disease It is not intended to replace taking a complete family health and pregnancy history, and completing a physical examination of the newborn, which sometimes can detect CCHDs before the development of hypoxemia or can detect children whose CCHDs are missed by pulse oximetry. Realize that pulse oximetry screening does not detect all CCHDs, even all of the 7 main screening targets. A "passed" screen does not rule out the possibility of a CCHD or other heart defect in your patient. For every 3 children detected with a CCHD by screening, 1 child with a CCHD will still be missed. Continued vigilance is necessary to recognize congenital heart defects if signs or symptoms, such as tachypnea, cyanosis, weak pulses, failure to thrive, extreme sleepiness, or a heart murmur, occur. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about screening for CCHDs. Please visit http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/pediatricgenetics/pulse.html for more information on this topic. Web Resources
