A randomised cross-over study of methods of acquiring ECG heart rate in newborns

The 2015 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation 1 treatment recommendations suggest that ECG can be used to provide rapid and accurate estimation of the newly born infant's heart rate (HR). 2 3 In addition, a DR study of 53 infants reported that HR measured with PO at birth was signif...

Summary:The 2015 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation 1 treatment recommendations suggest that ECG can be used to provide rapid and accurate estimation of the newly born infant's heart rate (HR). 2 3 In addition, a DR study of 53 infants reported that HR measured with PO at birth was significantly lower than that measured with ECG with clinically important differences in the first minutes. 4 Pulse oximeters display the HR more quickly when the sensor...
