Neonatal screening typically involves a few simple and non-invasive procedures:
Heel Prick Test: A few drops of blood are collected from the newborn's heel. These blood samples are then tested for various metabolic and genetic disorders. Hearing Test: This involves placing a small earpiece in the baby's ear to check for hearing impairments. CCHD Screening: Critical Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD) screening involves using a pulse oximeter to measure the oxygen levels in the blood.
