Assessment and evaluation of pulse oximetry in Newborns
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: Oxygen is essential for adequate cellular functioning and highly specialized systems have developed to maintain a delicate balance during conditions of relatively low to high levels of oxygen availability. However, despite such sophisticated controls prolonged or severe exposures to both excessively low and high oxygen levels may lead to tissue damage. Recent studies have suggested that SpO2 measured during the first hours of life may be an effective screening tool for congenital heart disease as well as detecting the early onset ofsepsis. If the measurement of SpO2 is performed as a routine in newborns, we can assess the normal variation of SpO2 during the first day of life. Present study was conducted to study the influence of birth weight, gestational age, mode of delivery and gender on levels of SpO2 in healthy newborn.
