Normal Oxygen Saturation Trend in Healthy Term Newborns within 30 Minutes of Birth

Abstract

The study defines the normal SpO(2) in healthy term newborns of NVD and CS delivered newborns and also concludes that there is no significant difference in SpO(2) among NVD and CS.

Feasibility of Oxygen Saturation Monitoring During Neonatal Resuscitation in Indian Scenario

“…The finding of preterm babies taking relatively longer duration than term babies for first detection of saturation as also been documented earlier [3][4][5]. Similarly, longer time taken for measurement in babies delivered by caesarean section has also been documented [6].The limitation of our study was presence of dedicated personnel for probe attachment and data recording, which may not be feasible in practical situations, and which can further prolong the time taken for measurement in actual settings.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.…”

Physiological vital sign ranges in newborns from 34 weeks gestation: A systematic review

“…[25][26][27][28][29] It has been reported that peripheral capillary oxygen saturations take up to 15 minutes to stabilise, 25 heart rate up to one hour 6 and, up to three days for functional closure of the four circulatory ducts. 1,3 However, there is paucity in data for the remaining transition period, which takes approximately 12-72 hours.…”

Comparison of pulse oximetry and colour: a better index of oxygenation in neonatal resuscitation

“…12 On the other hand, there are also some studies which support the fact that the mode of delivery does not affect the SpO 2 progression. 13,14 The present study was conducted with a new generation pulse oximeter with a neonatal probe keeping in mind the guidelines provided by the American Academy of Paediatrics to reduce the motion artefacts and other pitfalls. All the readings of colour and SpO 2 were taken by a single observer to minimize inter-observer variations.…”
