Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of electrocardiogram (ECG) compared to pulse oximetry (PO) in detecting heart rate (HR) during high-risk newborn resuscitation.
Methods: A prospective observational study was performed with high-risk delivery cases to measure the time required for HR detection. A conventional PO and a standard ECG monitor were used for HR assessment.
Results: Forty-one infants were analyzed in the study, and 11 among them needed resuscitation. Nine were <32 gestational weeks (GA), 28 were 33-35 GA, and 4 were >36 GA at birth. ECG time for placement to HR detection was significantly faster than PO detection [30 (20-43.5) vs. 125 (100-175) seconds, P<0.001]. ECG time for placement to HR detection was the fastest in the infants below 32 GA at birth [19 (11.5-30) vs. 34.5 (25-44.25) vs. 39.5 (30-64.75) seconds, P=0.039).
Conclusion: ECG effectively evaluated HR during neonatal resuscitation compared to PO. Low gestational age infants who need resuscitation often may benefit in HR evaluation with nearby standard ECG.
研究目的本研究旨在评估在高危新生儿复苏期间,心电图与脉搏血氧仪在检测心率(HR)方面的功效:方法:对高危分娩病例进行前瞻性观察研究,测量检测心率所需的时间。结果:对 41 名婴儿进行了分析:研究分析了 41 名婴儿,其中 11 名需要复苏。9 名婴儿出生时体重为 36 千克。心电图从放置到检测心率的时间明显快于 PO 检测时间[30(20-43.5)秒 vs. 125(100-175)秒,PP=0.039]:结论:与 PO 相比,ECG 能有效评估新生儿复苏期间的心率。结论:与 PO 相比,心电图能有效评估新生儿复苏过程中的心率,经常需要复苏的低胎龄婴儿可受益于附近标准心电图的心率评估。
