Application to Predict Neonatal Apnea With Bradycardia

Summary

This purpose of this study is to reduce or stop apneas and bradycardias in pre-term infants, before they occur using gentle stimulation.

Detailed Description

This will be a randomized cross-over trial that will use additional ECG leads connected to a novel device and laptop to determine the accuracy and efficacy of an algorithm to predict, detect, and interrupt episodes of bradycardia for two 4-hour periods. There will be a 4-hour period without vibro-tactile stimulation and a 4-hour period with vibro-tactile stimulation when episodes are predicted or detected.
