This is a prospective observational cohort study conducted in the mother-baby unit at ChristianaCare. The study is designed to assess work of breathing indices and oxygen saturation stability at discharge in full-term infants. Data obtained will be used to perform a comparative analysis on work of breathing data for premature infants obtained from our previous study. We hypothesize full term (≥37 weeks gestation) infants have decreased work of breathing indices (i.e., phase angle) compared to premature infants (born 26-37 weeks gestation) at discharge.

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Work of breathing observation | Other | We will place soft elastic bands around the infant's chest and abdomen to assess their work of breathing. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Work of breathing indices | A phase angel of 0 represents perfect synchrony between the chest and abdominal compartments. Higher phase angles represent greater degrees of asynchronous breathing. A phase angle of ≥ 40 represents asynchrony and increased work of breathing. A phase angle of 180 represents complete asynchrony. | 25 minutes |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Oxygen saturations | Oxygen saturations will be measured by the high-resolution pulse oximeter. | 25 minutes |
