Heart Rate Variability

This is a module explaining how to save the data from a heart rate variability study at bedside for projects at the NeoCardioLab.

Evaluate time domain, frequency domain and non-linear measurements as per Task Force recommendations:

ECG Acquisition guide (1).pdf

For the SPEC STUDY – Download data on the SPEC study folder on the desktop
The study name should be: SPEC_STUDYID_DAYXX
The password for the computer is taped onto the computer itself
Keep a second copy of the Template in case of overwrites (there can be one on the desktop and a separate one in the SPEC folder, for example, or kept in USB)
After the study, you can always go back and edit, delete, or add comments (it's difficult to do while the study is ongoing)
Keep a package of ECG leads on the cart in case you need to replace leads during the set-up
Make sure to CUT the leads so that there is the least amount of adhesive material on the baby.
Record ideally a 70-minutes block.
