Definition

Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) screening protocol defines the specific screening process used, including the specific steps and timing of oxygen saturation measurements and guidelines for interpreting the results based on the measurements and the difference in the measurements. Different screening protocols can vary in terms of saturation cutoffs for in-range versus out-of-range results as well as how the difference in preductal and postductal measurements is used. These differences may partly be based on the altitude at which screening is performed since the altitude impacts oxygen saturation measurements. The protocol description should be clear and allow any receiver to interpret the CCHD result based on the specific screening data.
