Content: If early discharge is planned, screening should occur as late as possible. Where Should Screening Be Performed? The pulse-oximetry test should be performed on the right hand and one foot. What is a Normal Pulse Oximetry Reading for Infants? A reading of 95 to 100 percent is normal in healthy infants. Infants with heart or lung problems may have lower readings. A low pulse-oximetry reading can also be present in newborns whose circulation is adjusting to life outside of the womb. Contact Us
