Bradycardia Recognition and Detection in Young Infants Part-I

Bradycardia Recognition and Detection in Young Infants Using the Owlet OSS 3.0 Monitor (Brady-I Study)

This prospective cohort study will determine the diagnostic accuracy of the Owlet OSS 3.0 monitor for the detection of episodes of bradycardia and/or hypoxemia among infants.

We will attach an Owlet monitor to infants for a 48-hour period. We will prospectively collect data from this device to determine the accuracy of bradycardia and hypoxemia detection compared with hospital monitors. In addition, we will collect simultaneous high-resolution real time cardiorespiratory data from Philips MP70 patient monitors at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
