Comparing peripheral limb and forehead vital sign monitoring in newborn infants at birth
This study demonstrates the feasibility of continuously monitoring heart rate and oxygen saturation from an infant's forehead in the delivery room immediately after birth. Significantly higher SpO<sub>2</sub> measurements were observed from the forehead than the wrist during the transition from foetal to newborn life. Continuous monitoring of vital signs from the forehead could become a valuable tool to improve the delivery of optimal care provided for newborns at birth.
