A pulse oximeter is often used to monitor oxygen levels in a baby's blood shortly after birth. If the baby's oxygen saturation falls below a certain level, supplemental oxygen may be required. Additionally, clinical assessment of the baby's respiratory effort and color can help determine the need for oxygen supplementation.
