About this study

To evaluate the maturation of the autonomic nervous system in prematures by using heart rate variability analyses.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

All prematures

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

Herat rate variability (HRV) characteristics

Time frame: 3 years

It is well known that maturation of the autonomic nervous system can be detected by heart rate variability in children. The purpose of this study is to apply HRV characteristics in premature infants and try to evaluate if there are noticable changes in these parameters both in "healthy" and diseased premature infants longitudinally during their stay at the NICU. Outcome measures to be studied are very low frequency ( VLF), low-frequency ( LF), high frequency (HF) frequency bands in the power spectrum density (PSD) of HRV records.
