ECG, an established and accurate method of monitoring HR, is rarely used in the delivery room for a number of reasons including difficulty ensuring adhesion to the skin (the baby is wet/covered in vernix) and skin damage in premature babies caused by stripping of the electrodes. Current ECG systems also require 3 electrodes to be positioned which can delay resuscitation further. To improve HR assessment at birth we aim to tackle this problem through a variety of means. ECG is not routinely used for delivery room resuscitations mainly due to the impracticalities of attaching the electrodes and setting up the system. Current NICU practice is to place the ECG electrodes onto the baby's chest. It is also possible for the electrodes to be placed on the baby's which is a method commonly adopted on the NICU. Preterm babies are routinely delivered into a plastic bags/wraps to minimise heat loss. By pre-placing the ECG electrodes onto the back of the bag/wrap with small conducting holes in, it should be possible to place the baby onto the bag and connect with the ECG electrodes with a routinely used clinical conducting gel. The baby could be placed onto them and time would be saved by not needing to stick the electrodes on individually and utilising the baby's weight to establish the electrode connections. This would avoid the need to place them individually, which is often time consuming and challenging as they don't still well to wet skin, and avoid skin stripping when removed later.
