What is postductal saturations?
Postductal saturations refer to the blood oxygen saturation levels measured in the lower part of the body, typically after the ductus arteriosus, a fetal blood vessel that connects the pulmonary artery to the aorta. In clinical practice, postductal saturations are often assessed in newborns to evaluate for conditions like coarctation of the aorta, where blood flow may be compromised. These measurements are usually taken from the lower extremities, such as the legs or feet, and are compared to preductal saturations measured in the upper body to identify potential circulatory issues.
What is preductal saturation monitoring?
Preductal saturation monitoring is a method used to measure the oxygen saturation levels in a baby's blood before it reaches the lungs. It helps assess how well oxygen is being delivered to the body, especially in newborns with heart or lung conditions. Monitoring preductal saturation is important for ensuring adequate oxygen levels and guiding treatment decisions.
When was Biology of the Neonate created?

What are pre ductal saturations?
Pre-ductal saturations in a newborn are measured in the right hand and is a measurement of the arterial blood oxygen saturation after the blood leaves the heart and before it reaches the ductus arteriosus in the aorta. This is the blood that is perfusing the brain.
Neonate's rating score?
Apgar
What is a compromised neonate?
Compromised neonate is a medical term used to describe an airway that is restricted or blocked. This can either be in the upper airway or the lower airway.
What is another name for a newborn baby?
neonate
What is the correct term for a baby who is newborn?
neonate
What is neonate stage?
The time just after birth.
What does arterial mean as in arterial o2 saturations?
Arterial is a reference to the blood in the arteries, as opposed to blood in the veins.
