ClinicalOxygen saturation.preductal-oxygen saturation.postductal [Mass fraction difference] in Bld.preductal and Bld.postductal
Definition
This term represents the quantitative difference between the preductal and postductal oxygen saturation measurements and is used in conjunction with the two measurements to determine the end result of the screening event, such as for critical congenital heart defects (CCHD) in newborns.
