Oxygen saturation trend and comparison between oxygen saturation levels in normal delivered and caserean section delivered babies within 30 minutes of life
Abstract
Objective: To determine normal arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) trend during first 30 min of life and to evaluate for difference in SpO2 trends in healthy term newborns of normal delivered (NVD) and caserean section (CS) and to determine the possible relationship between the normal levels of oxygen saturation and birth weight at 0 and 5th minute of life.
Methods: This Prospective Cross-sectional Observational study was conducted in Department of Paediatric Medicine SMS Medical College, Jaipur. Term neonates born by NVD and elective CS were included and readings of oxygen saturation levels were obtained at an interval of 5 minutes up to 30 minutes. Secondary objective is to determine the relation of SpO2 levels of term newborn with birth weight irrespective of mode of delivery.
Results: Difference in values of NVD and CS neonates were statistically significant for 1st and 30th min (p- 0.001 and -0.003) respectively. SpO2 is negatively related to birth weight.
Conclusions: The study defines the normal SpO2 in healthy term newborns of NVD and CS and also concludes that there is significant difference in SpO2 levels at 1st and 30th minute of life in NVD and CS babies. In healthy term newborns, levels of SpO2 measured at 1st and 5th minute of life are negatively related to birth weight.
