Most of these disorders cannot be seen at birth, but can be treated or helped if found early. The three tests include blood spot, hearing, and pulse oximetry screening.\u003Cbr>What is blood spot screening?\u003Cbr>When a baby is between 24 and 48 hours old, a few drops of blood are collected from the baby’s heel. These blood spots are sent to the Minnesota Department of Health newborn screening laboratory for testing. The laboratory screens for over 50 disorders that may affect how the body breaks down proteins (such as PKU), affect how the body makes energy (such as MCAD), affect the immune system (such as SCID), affect\u003Cbr>breathing and how the body gets nutrients from food (such as cystic fibrosis), cause hormone problems (such as congenital hypothyroidism), or cause blood problems (such as sickle cell anemia). For a complete list of disorders, [visit:](visit: www.health.state. mn.us/newbornscreening)[ ](visit: www.health.state. mn.us/newbornscreening)[www.health.state. mn.us/newbornscreening](visit: www.health.state. mn.us/newbornscreening).\u003Cbr>Blood spot screening can save babies’ lives. Identifying and treating affected newborns\u003Cbr>before symptoms occur is the key to preventing significant health problems and even death.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>What is hearing screening?\u003Cbr>When a baby is around 12 hours old, a hearing screen is performed to check for hearing loss in the range where speech is heard. One type of screening test uses soft rubber tips placed in each ear to deliver tones and measure the echo that occurs when the ear is functioning normally. The other screening test uses earphones to deliver test sounds while sensors placed on the baby’s head and neck measure the baby’s response to sound.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Identifying newborns with hearing loss and intervening early can make a significant difference in their language skills and development. Early intervention, regardless of the communication option chosen (i.e., oral, sign, or bimodal), has proven successful in improving a child’s ability to access language and develop on track with their hearing peers.\u003Cbr>What is pulse oximetry screening?\u003Cbr>When a baby is at least 24 hours old, a pulse oximetry screen is performed by placing small sensors on the baby’s hand and foot to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood. This test checks for critical congenital heart disease (CCHD). Newborns with CCHD have a problem with either the structure of their heart or the way blood flows through it.\u003Cbr>Babies sent home with undetected CCHD often require emergency care. Pulse oximetry screening with follow-up testing can identify newborns with CCHD so that they can get the treatment they need before complications occur.\u003Cbr>When will parents get their baby’s results?\u003Cbr>Hearing screening and pulse oximetry screening results are conveyed to parents immediately following the screen. Blood spot screening results are typically sent to birth providers within 3 to 7 days after birth. Parents are encouraged to ask their baby’s primary care provider for results at the first well-child visit.\u003Cbr>| \u003Cbr>For more information, please visit the Minnesota Department of Health’s Newborn Screening Prenatal Education page at\u003Cbr>[www.health.state.mn.us/newbornscreening](www.health.state.mn.us/newbornscreening)\u003Cbr>or\u003Cbr>call 651-201-3548 to talk with a Minnesota Newborn Screening Program genetic couns","cbCaikfforqQ7T3T","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikfforqQ7T3T","pdf",225014,"English","# Newborn Screening: what parents need to know\n## What is newborn screening?\n## What is blood spot screening?\n## What is hearing screening?\n## What is pulse oximetry screening?\n## When will parents get their baby’s results?\n## For more information and provider contact details\n## Provider checklist\n## What happens if a baby has a positive result?\n## Newborn screening card information\n## Storage of remaining blood spots and results","[{\"question\":\"What is newborn screening and why is it important?\",\"answer\":\"Newborn screening is a set of tests that checks babies for serious, rare disorders.
