Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: All liveborn infants >=28 weeks gestational age born between 9am and 5pm during the trial period were consecutively enrolled.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Neonates with antenatally diagnosed or suspected major malformations of the lungs or airways, hydrops or skin edema, those born after precipitous deliveries where time for informed consent was not available were excluded
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcome was the time taken from completion of sensor application to the appearance of first reliable display of pulse saturation and heart rate on the pulse oximeterTimepoint: Primary outcome was the time taken from completion of sensor application to the appearance of first reliable display of pulse saturation and heart rate on the pulse oximeter | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes measured included time from birth to start of sensor application (the point when the patient sensor touched the neonatesâ?? hand was considered as the start of sensor application), time taken for sensor application, total time taken from birth to appearance of first reliable signal, proportion of infants where a reliable data could not be recorded and proportion of infants where the sensor had to reapplied due to lack of signal.Timepoint: Immediately after birth | — |
