Health professionals’ views of newborn pulse oximetry screening in a midwifery-led maternity setting. “It's a good thing to do, but fund it!”

Congenital heart defects in infants are the commonest congenital abnormality but even critical lesions can be difficult to identify clinically in the first days after birth during the period of physiological transition and while the ductus arteriosus remains patent (Wren et al., 2008). Accordingly, clinical assessment of newborns with congenital heart disease (CHD) within the first 24 h often yields normal findings (Abu-Harb et al., 1994; Saxena et al., 2015). Failure to make an early diagnosis of critical CHD leads to clinical compromise prior to infants receiving major surgery and is associated with increased infant mortality (Eckersley et al., 2016; Franklin et al., 2002).

Shared decision aids in pregnancy care: A scoping review

Decision aids (DAs), also known as client-centred decision tools (Vlemmix et al., 2013; Joseph-Williams et al., 2017; Stacey et al., 2017), clinical decision-making tools (Trevana et al., 2014), patient decision aids (Sepucha et al., 2018), shared decision-making tools (Elwyn et al., 2010), and decision support technologies (Elwyn et al., 2009), are interventions that support health consumers by making their decisions explicit, providing information about options and associated benefits/harms, and helping to clarify congruence between decisions and personal values (Stacey et al., 2017).
