Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The feasibility of dEMG - recording in the delivery room (Signal quality of dEMG) during pulmonary transition expressed as the accuracy in heart rate and respiratory rate. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints are: - Description of changes in electrical activity (peak, amplitude, tonic activity, etc.) of the diaphragm during the transition. - Comparison in timing of heart rate detection acquired by EMG, compared to CI and PO, in order to find out which method is the fastest in detecting heart rate - Besides heart rate monitoring and breathing monitoring, other parameters from the standard-of-care respiratory function monitor (RFM) are studied as well in order to investigate the effect of respiratory support on diaphragmatic activity. | — |
