Pulse Oximetry Screening in Wisconsin

Abstract: Introduction. Pulse oximetry can be used as a screening tool to detect critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) in neonates prior to hospital discharge and the development of symptoms. Newborns suspected of having CCHD based on pulse oximetry screening should have the diagnosis excluded or confirmed with echocardiography. However, echocardiography is not immediately available in all settings in which newborns are delivered and the best course of action in these settings remains to be determined. The purpose of… Show more

“…The state' s current infrastructure for CCHD screening and pediatric cardiology support covers ∼85% of the state' s hospital births, which is comparable to data from Wisconsin. 11 Disparities between resources for CCHD screening and follow-up in metropolitan centers, centers affiliated with a large health care system, and rural independent centers exist, but overall, the survey suggests that the state is adequately prepared and equipped for implementation of CCHD screening. However, only twothirds of newborns are born in an NBN that is adequately prepared to manage an infant with CCHD.…”

“…In contrast to a state like New Jersey, which has a large population in a smaller geographic area, a state like Wisconsin may encounter the situation of limited access to further evaluation for CCHD more readily. Approximately one-quarter of hospitals in the state of Wisconsin would have to transport newborn infants an average of more than 50 miles to obtain further cardiology evaluation after a positive pulse oximetry screen result [38]. This situation would result in potentially additional stress for the family in addition to separating a mother and child shortly after birth.…”

“…A child who has not passed the screening by the third testing is considered to have failed. Most states and hospital systems adopted this protocol, and many have reported their experiences to date, including Minnesota, 15, 16 Washington, 17 California, 18 Arkansas, 19 Wisconsin, 20 Maryland, 21 and Vermont. 22 …”
