Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To determine the accuracy of early detection of heart rate using handheld Doppler in comparison to ECGTimepoint: baseline at time of birth to 120 seconds for normal and 300 seconds for babies requiring resucitation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Determine the average time it takes to achieve a neonatal heart rate through different methods.Timepoint: baseline at time of birth to 120 seconds for normal & 300 seconds for babies requiring resucitation;Evaluate the effectiveness & practicality of using a handheld Doppler for neonatal heart rate measurement in comparison to ECG & Pulse oximetryTimepoint: baseline heart rate measurements done over a period of 120 seconds in normal babies & 300 seconds for babies requiring resuscitation using Bland-Altman analysis for comparison;Record the time needed for applying various approaches in heart rate assessmentTimepoint: from time of application to time of first initial record of values displayed measured in seconds
