An Automated Performance Evaluation of the Newborn Life Support Procedure (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tan, A., Egede, J., Remenyte-Prescott, R., Valstar, M., & Sharkey, D. (2024). An Automated Performance Evaluation of the Newborn Life Support Procedure. In 2024 Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS). https://doi.org/10.1109/rams51492.2024.10457793

This research is conducted to develop an automated action recognition method to evaluate the performance of the Newborn Life Support (NLS) procedure. It will be useful to find deviations in the procedure, such as missing steps and incorrect actions,... Read More about An Automated Performance Evaluation of the Newborn Life Support Procedure.

A modelling approach to studying variations in newborn life support procedure (2023)
Journal Article
Tan, A., Remenyte-Prescott, R., Valstar, M., & Sharkey, D. (2024). A modelling approach to studying variations in newborn life support procedure. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part O: Journal of Risk and Reliability, 238(4), 777-796. https://doi.org/10.1177/1748006X231173595

Variations in clinical practice are common. However, some variations may cause undesired consequences. Careful consideration of their causes and effects is necessary to assure the quality of healthcare delivery. A modelling approach that could captur...

Forehead monitoring of heart rate in neonatal intensive care (2023)
Journal Article
Stockwell, S. J., Kwok, T. C., Morgan, S. P., Sharkey, D., & Hayes-Gill, B. R. (2023). Forehead monitoring of heart rate in neonatal intensive care. Frontiers in Physiology, 14, Article 1127419. https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2023.1127419

Heart rate is an extremely important physiological parameter to measure in critically unwell infants, as it is the main physiological marker that changes in response to a change in infant condition. Heart rate is routinely measured peripherally on a... Read More about Forehead monitoring of heart rate in neonatal intensive care.

Modelling Variations in Newborn Life Support Procedure Using Colored Petri Nets (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Chiara Leva, E. Patelli, L. Podofillini, & S. Wilson (Eds.), Proceedings of the 32nd European Safety and Reliability Conference (ESREL 2022) (489-496). https://doi.org/10.3850/978-981-18-5183-4_R12-08-152-cd

This research is conducted to study variations in the Newborn Life Support procedure. This procedure follows an evidence-based protocol to resuscitate and stabilize newborn babies requiring assistance at birth. Errors and ineffective actions in this...

Feasibility of a Novel ECG Electrode Placement Method in Newborn Infants (2022)
Journal Article
Henry, C., Shipley, L., Morgan, S., Crowe, J. A., Carpenter, J., Hayes-Gill, B., & Sharkey, D. (2022). Feasibility of a Novel ECG Electrode Placement Method in Newborn Infants. Neonatology, 119(2), 264-267. https://doi.org/10.1159/000521530

Background: International newborn resuscitation guidelines recommend electrocardiogram (ECG) heart rate (HR) monitoring at birth. We evaluated the application time of pre-set ECG electrodes fixed to a polyethene patch allowing adhesive-free attachmen...

An automated quasi-continuous capillary refill timing device (2015)
Journal Article
Blaxter, L., Morris, D. E., Crowe, J. A., Henry, C., Hill, S. J., Sharkey, D., …Hayes-Gill, B. R. (in press). An automated quasi-continuous capillary refill timing device. Physiological Measurement, 37(1), https://doi.org/10.1088/0967-3334/37/1/83

Capillary refill time (CRT) is a simple means of cardiovascular assessment which is widely used in clinical care. Currently, CRT is measured through manual assessment of the time taken for skin tone to return to normal colour following blanching of t...

Forehead reflectance photoplethysmography to monitor heart rate: preliminary results from neonatal patients (2014)
Journal Article
Grubb, M., Carpenter, J., Crowe, J. A., Teoh, J., Marlow, N., Ward, C., Mann, C., Sharkey, D., & Hayes-Gill, B. R. (2014). Forehead reflectance photoplethysmography to monitor heart rate: preliminary results from neonatal patients. Physiological Measurement, 35(5), https://doi.org/10.1088/0967-3334/35/5/881

Around 5%–10% of newborn babies require some form of resuscitation at birth and heart rate (HR) is the best guide of efficacy. We report the development and first trial of a device that continuously monitors neonatal HR, with a view to deployment in...
