| Heart rate variability (HRV) measured by pulse oximeter for at least 30 minutes when the newborn was sleeping quietly in four positions | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Parameters recorded in every position for at least 30 minutes, when the newborn was sleeping quietly: 1. Blood oxygenation measured using a pulse oximeter 2. Breathing frequency (BF) counted by visualizing the excursions of the thorax 3. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) measured using an inflatable cuff | — |
