Wireless skin sensors for electrocardiogram and heart rate monitoring in the neonatal intensive care unit: a prospective feasibility, safety, and accuracy study
ECG and HR monitoring using a new wireless skin sensor was feasible, safe, and accurate when compared to the wired standard. Future adjustments in the technology are needed to improve signal coverage during handling and KC and test the sensors in unstable and more immature patients. Limitations included challenges in recruiting unstable neonates, variability introduced by multiple raters completing pain assessments, and inability to apply safety metrics to the wired standard of care.
