“…( (50) There are more than 100 published studies that found that the SpO 2 monitor with Signal Extraction Technology has better specificity and sensitivity, has fewer false alarms and missed events, and functions best during critical illness and periods of low perfusion and motion. Another monitor (Rainbow; Masimo Corporation, Irvine, CA) uses more than 2 wavelengths and can measure hemoglobin, methemoglobin, and carboxyhemoglobin in addition to SpO 2 .…”

Dr Sola has disclosed he works part-time for Masimo Corp. as vice president, medical affairs, neonatology. This commentary does contain a discussion of an unapproved/ investigative use of a commercial product/ device. Educational GapThere is a need for education about judicious use of oxygen supplementation and potential damaging effects of hyperoxemia. AbstractWhen a newborn has suspected or confirmed hypoxemia, clinical measures for evaluation and treatment are started without delay, which is appropriate. Oxygen is among the most widely used drugs in neonatal care, but the adverse effects of excess oxygen administration, hyperoxemia, and hyperoxia are not addressed in a similar way. This review describes issues of clinical significance related to oxygenation and saturation targets with the main objective of decreasing morbidities associated with excess oxygen use.Objectives After completing this article, readers should be able to:1. Improve understanding of oxygenation and saturation. 2. Advance knowledge for considering excess oxygen as a neonatal health hazard. 3. Increase attentiveness on issues related to targeting of oxygen saturation. 4. Collaborate to improve clinical practice and outcomes.

“…46 Su medición ha sido propuesta por algunos autores como el quinto signo vital. 47 Las bases teóricas de la oximetría datan de 1860 con el invento del espectrómetro por Bunsen y Kirchhoff. 48 En 1932 en Alemania, Nicolai registró con métodos de óptica, el consumo de oxígeno in vivo de una mano después de oclusión circulatoria.…”

The neonatal cardiac screen is a simple, non-invasive, painless and cost-effective test, with which critical congenital heart disease can be detected in a timely manner. Diseases that can cause serious sequelae or death of newborns, if not diagnosed in time. These malformations require some type of invasive procedure during the first month of life. According to the algorithms published as of 2011, it is performed by measuring pulse oximetry in the right hand and either of the two feet of neonates, with sequential measurements and established cut-off points. In Mexico, in compliance with national and international regulations, the screening has been implemented in some States of the Republic, with its addition as a screening test in the general health law in 2021, which makes it a mandatory study in the Mexican territory. In this document, global background, scientific, technical, operational, regulatory and economic aspects for the proper performance of screening are exposed, also proposing modifications to the algorithm and making known the analysis carried out on the costs and benefits of the Neonatal Cardiac Screen. The objective of making adjustments to the algorithm is to adapt to the demographic conditions of the Mexican population, in such a way that the number of false positives and false negatives related to geographic altitude and the measurement of the perfusion index can be reduced.

“…4 Oximeters in clinical use have 2 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with wavelengths of 660 nm (red) and 940 nm (infrared), respectively. The light is passed through a translucent part of the body (the hand or foot of a newborn) and measured by a facing photodiode.…”
