Title: Accuracy of pulse oximetry screening for detecting critical congenital heart disease in the newborns in rural hospital of Central India
Authors: Taksande, Amar M.; Lakhkar, Bhawna; Gadekar, A.; Suwarnakar, K.; Japzape, T.
Abstract: Congenital cardiovascular malformations are the most common category of birth
defects and responsible for mortality in the first twelve months of life. Critical congenital heart
disease (CCHD) will be present in approximately one quarter of these children, which requires
catheter or surgery intervention in the first year of life.
The aim is to determine the accuracy of pulse oximetry for detecting clinically unrecognized CCHD in
the newborns. This article reports the following methods : Pulse oximetry was performed on clinically normal newborns within first 4 hours of life.
If screening oxygen saturation (SpO2) was below 90%, echocardiography was then performed.
Inclusion criteria: All newborns who were admitted in postnatal ward & NICU. Exclusion criteria:
Out born babies and babies with a prenatal diagnosis of duct dependent circulation.2013-01-01T00:00:00ZThree dimensional echocardiographic assessment of multiple rhabdomyoma in newborn

Title: Three dimensional echocardiographic assessment of multiple rhabdomyoma in newborn
Authors: Hodzic, Amir; Maragnes, Pascale; Dupont-Chauvet, Peggy; Labombarda, Fabien
Abstract: Cardiac rhabdomyomas represent the most common primary cardiac tumour in
children and are strongly associated with tuberous sclerosis complex.
This article reports a newborn for whom three-dimensional echocardiogram, with multiplane
mode, real-time imaging, full volume and i-slice view, allowed detailed visualisation of multiple
highly echogenic and well-circumscribed cardiac rhabdomyoma.
Three-dimensional imaging allowed a better definition of the tumour characteristics
and provided a better delineation of the spatial relationship of the mass with a tomographic
perspective. Three dimensional imaging may facilitate a possible operative planning and should be
included in cardiac mass evaluation and follow-up.2013-01-01T00:00:00Z
