[26 Jan 2009] Swedish researchers have previously shown that as maternity ward stays become shorter, more and more newborns leave the hospital with undetected life-threatening congenital heart disease. A study performed by researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy shows that routine screening of the oxygen level in the blood of all newborns increases the detection of life-threatening heart malformations, which results in fewer infants dying and a likely lower risk of life-long brain damage.
