Popis: Aim To assess local and individual factors that should be considered in the design of a pulse oximetry screening strategy in New Zealand's midwifery‐led maternity setting. Methods An intervention study was conducted over 2 years. Three hospitals and four primary maternity units participated in the study. Post‐ductal saturation levels were measured on well infants with a gestation of ≥35 weeks. Infant activity and age (hours) at the time of the test were recorded. Results Screening was performed on 16 644 of 27 172 (61%) eligible infants. The age at which the screening algorithm was initiated varied significantly among centres. The probability of achieving a pass result (saturations ≥95%) in the context of no underlying pathology ranged from .94 for an unsettled infant screened
