Electrical Grounding Improves Vagal Tone in Preterm Infants
Abstract
Low vagal tone (VT) is a marker of vulnerability to stress and the risk of developing necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants. Electric fields produced by equipment in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) induce an electric potential measurable on the skin in reference to ground. An electrical connection to ground reduces the skin potential and improves VT in adults.We aimed to measure the electric field strengths in the NICU environment...
