U.S., Aug. 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07109076) titled 'Effect of Immediate Skin-to-Skin Contact on Neonatal Heart Rate Variability After Cesarean Secton' on July 03.
Brief Summary: At birth, both the newborn and the mother experience adaptive stress, which can be measured using objective physiological methods. One of the possible methods is monitoring heart rate variability, which is an indirect indicator of the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system. The proposed study will monitor the effect of early skin-to-skin contact on heart rate variability in newborns delivered by cesarean section and their mothers.
The researchers hypothesi...
