Feasibility of screening for critical congenital heart disease using pulse oximetry in Indonesia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Screening of critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) using pulse oximetry is a routine procedure in many countries, but not in Indonesia. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of implementing CCHD screening with pulse oximetry for newborns in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted at four hospitals in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Newborns aged 24-48 hours who met the inclusion criteria were screened on the right hand and left or right foot using a pulse oximeter. Positive results were indicated by: either (1) SpO₂ level < 90% in one extremity, (2) SpO₂ level of 90-94% in both right hand and either foot on three measurements conducted 1 hour apart, or (3) a saturation difference > 3% between the upper and lower
