Objective: The objective of this study was to compare two different oxygen saturation levels of live newborn infants in the 0-48 hour period in the provinces of Ardahan (1900 m) and Adana (29 m), which are located at two different altitudes.
Methods: The subjects of the study consisted of 200 mothers who had just given birth in Adana and Ardahan provinces and agreed to participate in the study voluntarily and their newborn infants. Data were gathered using an APGAR score and a personal information form.
Results: Postnatal O2 saturation measurements by province were 90.94±2.78 for the 0th hour, 94.26 ± 1.78 for the 8th hour, 95.52 ± 1.70 for the 12th hour, 96.13 ± 1.46 for the 24th hour and 96.65±1.41 for the 48th hour in Ardahan province, 90.28±2.76 for the 0th hour, 93.71 ± 1.39 for the 8th hour, 95.05 ± 1.34 for the 12th hour, 95.84 ± 1.30 for the 24th hour and 96.15±1.27 for the 48th hour in Adana province. According to the results of the APGAR scoring, 53% of the infants born to mothers who resided in the province of Ardahan and 48% of the infants born to mothers who resided in the province of Adana each received 8 points.
Conclusion: According to the results of the APGAR scoring, 53% of the infants born to mothers who resided in the province of Ardahan and 48% of the infants born to mothers who resided in the province of Adana each received 8 points. As a result, it was determined that the saturation levels of infants born in Ardahan at 1900 m altitude between 0 and 48 hours were statistically higher than those of infants born in Adana province at 29 m altitude. Due to this reason, it is suggested that new studies be conducted at different time intervals to investigate how periodic altitude changes affect the saturation levels of postnatal live births.
