Official Title: Brain Activity During Birth for Prediction of Newborns at Risk for Brain Injury
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is early identification of asphyxiated newborns through eeg starting in the delivery room.
Detailed Summary:
There is a need for a reliable detector of birth asphyxia so that newborns with birth asphyxia can have timely and accurate diagnosis to receive therapeutic hypothermia within 6 hrs of life, which has been shown to significantly reduce deaths and improve long term developmental outcomes.
This study is designed to record EEG during birth transition through the first 10 minutes of life.
Sponsor: Sharp HealthCare
Current Primary Outcome: EEG recorded [ Time Frame: Birth to 10 minutes of life ]
Original Primary Outcome:
- Successful adhesion of EES to skin [ Time Frame: Birth to 10 minutes of life ]Ultra thin fluid resistant medical adhesive with thin electric circuitry embedded
- EEG recorded [ Time Frame: Birth to 10 minutes of life ]May be up to 60 minutes if applicable
Current Secondary Outcome:
- Skin irritation from EES or hydrogel electrodes [ Time Frame: 60 minutes of life ]Redness, excoriation
- Successful adhesion of EES to skin [ Time Frame: 60 minutes of life ]Redness, excoriation
Original Secondary Outcome: Skin irritation from EES or hydrogel electrodes [ Time Frame: 60 minutes of life ]
