Pulse oximetry and cabled ECG may be delayed or unreliable in the first minutes after birth, especially in the operating theatre. Heart rate was recorded every second for 10 minutes using good-quality NeoBeat signals or manually checked visible readings. NeoBeat was attached soon after delivery and detects heart rate by QRS complexes. NeoBeat use during caesarean delivery was challenging because the device could not be sterilised or covered sterilely. No increase in postoperative wound infections was observed, although the study was not powered to detect small differences.
