Feasibility of Oxygen Saturation Monitoring During Neonatal Resuscitation in Indian Scenario

Abstract

This observational study assessed the feasibility of using pulse oximeter during neonatal resuscitation in 428 term and preterm (32-36 weeks) neonates. The oxygen saturation reading was obtained by 1-minute in 152 (35.5%) neonates. Preterm neonates and babies born by LSCS took relatively longer time for first detection of saturation.
