Abstract
The aim of the study is to estimate the yield of Pulse Oximetry as a screening tool to detect CCHD in term Intramural Newborns. Asymptomatic newborns who had oxygen saturation more than 95% were asked to report immediately in case of any symptoms developed related to cardiovascular disease so as to determine false negative results. Results: Out of 4 critical CHD. Baby with DORV with complete AV CANAL DEFECT was having least oxygen saturation. In group A babies with cyanotic heart disease had mean oxygen saturation of 84.7%. Conclusion: The prevalence of congenital heart disease in present study on the basis of location saturation and subsequent echocardiography was 22 in 6000 cases and prevalence of critical CHD is 3.6 in 6000 live birth that is 0.7 in 1000 live birth who were born in this hospital. This study indicates that pulse oximetry is a noninvasive, reliable and useful screening tool for the early detection of congenital heart diseases especially cyanotic congenital heart diseases. The normal oxygen saturation (negative pulse oximetry screening) does not rule out CHD, especially acyanotic congenital heart disease
