Early detection of late onset neonatal sepsis, prior to obvious and potentially catastrophic clinical signs, is an important goal in neonatal medicine. Sepsis causes a well-known series of physiologic changes including abnormalities of blood pressure, respiration, temperature, and heart rate, and less well-known changes in heart rate variability. While vital signs are frequently or continuously monitored in NICU patients, changes in these parameters are subtle in the early phase of sepsis and difficult to interpret using traditional NICU monitoring tools. A new tool, continuous monitoring of heart rate characteristics, is now available for clinical use. Recent research has established that two abnormalities of heart rate characteristics which have long been used by obstetricians to identify fetal compromise - reduced heart rate variability and transient decelerations - occur early in the course of sepsis in NICU patients, often before clinical signs of illness. Through mathematical modeling of electrocardiogram data from hundreds of NICU patients, a heart rate characteristics (HRC) index was derived that represents the fold increase in risk that a neonate will be diagnosed with clinical or culture-proven sepsis within the next 24 hours. The impact of continuous HRC monitoring on outcomes in preterm very low birthweight infants is the subject of a multicenter randomized clinical trial of 3000 patients which will be complete in 2010. Further research into mechanisms of abnormal HRC and regulation of autonomic nervous system function in sepsis and other disease processes will shed light on additional applications of this exciting new technology.
