Popis:	Background: Unrecognition or delayed diagnosis of severe congenital cardiac diseases (CCD) can lead to cardiac failure, cardiovascular collapse and death. Pulse oximetry can be used as a screening tool for detection of critical CCD (CCCD) in newborns. We conducted this study to correlate pulse oximetry findings in asymptomatic newborns to detect CCCD and coarctation of aorta.Methods: All babies delivered in our hospital were included; after clinical evaluation, pulse oximetry screening was done 12 hours after delivery, taken in three extremities (Right thumb, left thumb and left great toe). If the readings were 95% in 799 babies, there was no significant clinical findings, and were negative for pulse oxymetry screening; one baby had positive pulse oximetry screening (
