Objective: The aim of this research work is to observe the aptness of the analysis of blood gas in the newborns suffering from the distress of respiration system. Methodology: We conducted this research work in the Pediatric ICU of Allied / DHQ Hospital Faisalabad. All the newborns who got admission in the Pediatric ICU with symptoms of distress of respiration system were the part of this research work. These new births were getting only oxygen as a support for respiration. No neonate intubated or obtained ventilation’s positive pressure ventilation. We reviewed the records of 16 patients who got admission for analysis of the blood gas. Results: Except for 2 patients, no patient found with hypoxemia (PaO2 less than eighty mmHg). In the same manner, only 2 patients were available with acidosis (pH value of less than 7.3) whereas only one neonate was available with hypercarbia (PaCO2 of greater than 40.0 mmHg). The excess of the base & measurement of the bicarbonate, in majority of patients, were available in normal ranges. Conclusions: The analysis of the blood gas were normal in most of samples prescribing that unsuitability & needless utilization of full of pain & very expensive method in otherwise stable neonates suffering from the distress of respiration system. Depending upon these results, a substitute methodology, a blend of the clinical aspects, reading of pulse oximeter & results of the X-ray of chest is the suggestion that can be very effective in the administration of the newborns suffering from the distress of respiration system. The main destination is to reduce the overutilization of the invasive agonizing process. Key Words: Oximetry, X-Ray, Overutilization, Invasive, Agonizing, Respiration, Distress, Hypoxemia.
