Abstract
Congenital heart disease is a disease in which there is an abnormality in the function or structure of the heart from the moment the baby is born. There are various types of congenital malformations, but among the most common are anomalous communication between the left and right atria, interatrial communications and interventricular communications. Some tests are therefore carried out in the baby's first hours. The pulse oximetry test (POTS), or Little Heart Test, is recognized worldwide as a method for the early identification of CCC in asymptomatic NBs. It is a neonatal screening test that stands out for being quick to administer, widely available, low-cost, highly sensitive and specific, and non-invasive. Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the main congenital malformations and are one of the main causes of infant deaths. TOP needs to be applied continuously and effectively to ensure early detection of CHD and thus favor a better quality of life for these newborns. The aim of this study is to present, through a literature review, the importance of pulse oximetry as an early diagnostic tool for neonatal screening in newborns with critical congenital heart disease. Through this literature review, the importance of routinely measuring pulse oximetry in newborns between 24 and 48 hours of life, prior to hospital discharge, has been shown to have high sensitivity and specificity for the early detection of heart disease.
Key words: congenital heart disease; pulse oximetry test; Little Heart Test.
