- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Primary outcome was the time taken from completion of sensor application to the appearance of first reliable display of pulse saturation and heart rate on the pulse oximeterTimepoint: Primary outcome was the time taken from completion of sensor application to the appearance of first reliable display of pulse saturation and heart rate on the pulse oximeter
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary outcomes measured included time from birth to start of sensor application (the point when the patient sensor touched the neonatesâ?? hand was considered as the start of sensor application), time taken for sensor application, total time taken from birth to appearance of first reliable signal, proportion of infants where a reliable data could not be recorded and proportion of infants where the sensor had to reapplied due to lack of signal.Timepoint: Immediately after birth
