The goal of this study is to compare the time required for accurate heart rate measurement of the preterm newborn when using pulse oximetry versus electrocardiography leads.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Each baby will have both pulse oximetry leads (Massimo Radical 7) and electrocardiography leads (3M™ Red Dot™ Neonatal Limb Band Monitoring Electrodes, Pre-wired) applied. The time required for each modality to register a heart rate will be compared.

Time until accurate heart rate.
The elapsed time (in seconds) between application of the specific measuring apparatus (pulse oximeter probe or electrocardiograph leads) and measurement of heart rate.
Time frame: To be determined
Intermeasurement accuracy
Assessment of the level of accuracy between the two times to be measured.
Time frame: To be determined
