Résumé

In very preterm infants, cardio-respiratory events and associated hypoxemia occurring during early postnatal life have been associated with risks of retinopathy, growth alteration and neurodevelopment impairment. These events are commonly detected by continuous cardio-respiratory monitoring in neonatal intensive care units (NICU), through the associated bradycardia. NICU nurse interventions are mainly triggered by these alarms. In this work, we acquired data from 52 preterm infants during NICU monitoring, in order to propose an early bradycardia detector which is based on a decentralized fusion of three detectors. The main objective is to improve automatic detection under real-life conditions without altering performance with respect to that of a monitor commonly used in NICU. We used heart rate lower than 80 bpm during at least 10 sec to define bradycardia. With this definition we observed a high rate of false alarms (64%) in real-life and that 29% of the relevant alarms were not followed by manual interventions. Concerning the proposed detection method, when compared to current monitors, it provided a significant decrease of the detection delay of 2.9 seconds, without alteration of the sensitivity (97.6% vs 95.2%) and false alarm rate (63.7% vs 64.1%). We expect that such an early detection will improve the response of the newborn to the intervention and allow for the development of new automatic therapeutic strategies which could complement manual intervention and decrease the sepsis risk.
