Article Synopsis
- - The study explored the effectiveness of measuring heart rate (HR) and oxygen saturation (SpO) on newborns' foreheads compared to traditional wrist sensors during their first 10 minutes of life.
- - Results showed that forehead sensors had a higher success rate for HR readings (100%) and better agreement with ECG data than wrist sensors (69%).
- - The forehead measurements also provided consistently higher SpO values than the wrist methods, indicating the potential benefits of using forehead monitoring in clinical settings.
Aim: A device for newborn heart rate (HR) monitoring at birth that is compatible with delayed cord clamping and minimises hypothermia risk could have advantages over current approaches. We evaluated a wireless, cap mounted device (fhPPG) for monitoring neonatal HR.
Methods: A total of 52 infants on the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and immediately following birth by elective caesarean section (ECS) were recruited.
