Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Hypothesis: Fewer neonates managed using information from heart rate characteristics (HRC) will require intubation and mechanical ventilation as a result of sepsis and sepsis-like illness. Infants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group of infants will have the HRC index known to the physicians caring for them, and physicians will use the HRC index as they desire to aid in clinical management. Infants in the other group will have the HRC index recorded, but this information will not be displayed to the physicians caring for the infants.
