What Conditions Can Be Detected Using Intermittent Auscultation?
A variety of neonatal disorders can be identified through this method, including:
1. Congenital Heart Defects: Conditions like tetralogy of Fallot or transposition of the great arteries can be suspected if abnormal heart sounds are heard. 2. Arrhythmias: Abnormal heart rhythms, such as tachycardia or bradycardia, can be detected. 3. Infections: Sepsis and other infections can cause changes in heart rate, which can be picked up by auscultation.
