Abstract
There is steep rise in prevalence of reported CHD due to prenatal sonographic examination and screening by echocardiography. Reporting by these screening tools may also detect CHD lesions of little clinical importance like small ASD, small muscular VSD etc. This was a hospital based prospective observational study. All neonates fulfilling selection criteria, born and admitted in postnatal ward during study period were included in the study. Mean birth weight of neonates with pulseoximetry saturation of <90%, was significantly lesser (2428 ± 0.17 grams) than the mean birth weight of neonates with pulseoximetry saturation of >90% (2772±0.02 grams). There was no significant difference noted in the mean length, head circumference, heart rate and respiratory rates among pulse oximetry positive and pulseoximetry negative neonates.
