Neonatal screening with pulse oximetry

Without a proper treatment, critical congenital heart defects (CCHD) lead to death in the first month of life. Timely diagnosis is pivotal for reducing morbidity and mortality. Pulse oximetry is used in many countries to screen newborns for CCHD. However, this screening has not been implemented in the Netherlands, because of the unique perinatal care system, with a high home birth rate and early discharge after hospital deliveries. This thesis describes research performed to assess the feasibility, accuracy, acceptability and costs of neonatal screening for CCHD with pulse oximetry in the Dutch perinatal care system. To do this, the protocol that is used in the United States and Scandinavia was adapted to fit the working scheme of community midwives.LUMC / Geneeskunde Repositoriu
