Therefore, only certain diseases are known fromthe screening test neonatal EEG — in the United Kingdom, the subject of a screening program is a common type of phenylketonuria, congenital hypothyroid, sickle cell disease, and cystic fibrosis.

Midwives responsible for neonatal screening test

A capillary blood specimens taken on the day of the 6th baby lives used for all tests. Midwives are usually responsible for taking blood samples and send them to the Center. Midwives must explain the purpose of checks on the elderly, though no written permission is obtained. To avoid repetition means, every effort should be made to get the adequate on all specimens of action — it took skill to do this.

Feet must be held downward then gently pressed and released, the blood will flow out. The blood is then collected in a capillary tube or on a sheet of paper “absorber” that was designed for the purpose of this examination, depending on the purpose of the test lab. The procedure is repeated until sufficient blood is obtained. The heel is cleaned, the plaster and the baby were tacked on to his mother in order to feel comfortable. Identification of thoroughly equipped and specimen immediately sent.
