ABSTRACT
The screening practice in newborn infants started on 1963 with the detection of phenylketonuria by Dr. Robert Guthrie and it has extended to other metabolic pathologies. Since the mid 70’s more nations are incorporating screening programs to their public health policies. These programs must comply with the World Health Organization cost-benefit criteria known as the Gunner-Jungner criteria. In recent years many countries and the American Academy of Pediatrics have stated a new recommendation for critical congenital heart disease screening. It is based on the use of pulse oximetry in every apparently healthy newborn after 24 hours of birth; it is an excellent prevention instrument for the early detection of subclinical congenital heart disease.
