Newborn Screening
OHMI Midwives will perform screenings for baby’s up to six weeks of age
Service Description
Newborn screening tests are a public health service that identify serious but treatable health conditions in newborns. The tests include: •Metabolic Blood test - a few drops of blood are taken from the baby's heel and sent to a lab for analysis. This test screens for many conditions, including cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, and metabolic disorders (please see the booking form for information about possible extra fee) •Hearing screen -uses a tiny earpiece or microphone to check how the baby responds to sound. •Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) screen -uses a small sensor attached to a machine called an oximeter to measure the baby's oxygen levels in the hand and foot
