Authors' objectives:
To review evidence on the safety, effectiveness and costeffectiveness of oxygen saturation test using pulse oximetry for detection of critical congenital heart disease in newborn infants.
Authors' recommendations:
Oxygen saturation test using pulse oximetries have shown to be an effective method as an adjunct to physical
examination in detection of critical congenital heart disease in newborns infants. There are also good levels of evidence to indicate that pulse oximetry is effective to detect congenital heart disease in newborns. Many of the studies retrieved shown that pulse oximetry has good specificity compared to sensitivity when used alone. Sensitivity increased when used with clinical examination. However, there was no evidence retrieved on the safety or adverse event using pulse oximetry as a screening method to detect congenital heart disease in newborns.
