NCT00950287

Brief Summary

Apnea-bradycardia is a frequent phenomenon in preterm infants which has been associated with short term complications and alterations in neurodevelopment. Duration and amplitude of the bradycardias depend on the time delay between the beginning of the bradycardia and the intervention of the nurse. The purpose of the study is to test a new method set for early detection of bradycardia in preterm infants.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of false positive alarm detections

    1 week

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Delay between the beginning of the bradycardia and the detection. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value

    1 week

Study Arms (1)

cohort

One group of preterm infants

Device: No intervention

Interventions

The recordings will be performed in neonatal units with the preterm infant remaining in usual condition with limitations of external stimulation during the study period. The usual monitor will remain in function. The intervention of the nurses in case of apnea will not be modified during the study period. The recording will be obtained from derivation of the signal usually recorded by the monitor in use completed in one centre by a polysomnographic recording (Medtronics France SA), in order to test a possible influence of the sleep status on the detection.
