Headline: |
Study finds that pulse oximetry is a safe, accurate test that is acceptable to parents and staff as a screening test for congenital heart defects (CHDs) in newborn infants. It is likely to identify cases of critical CHDs that would otherwise go undetected and is expected to be cost-effective. |
