Pulse oximetry in newborn physical screening

The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) is inviting comments on the use of pulse oximetry as an additional test in the newborn and infant physical examination. The aim would be to increase the detection of critical congenital heart defects and other significant conditions associated with neonatal hypoxaemia.

Please use the consultation response form below to submit your comments on the draft papers.

All submitted consultation comments, as well as UK NSC’s response, will be published at the same time as the final review.
