Résumé
Optimizing neurodevelopment is a key goal of neonatal occupational therapy. In preterm infants, repeated procedural pain is associated with adverse effects on neurodevelopment long term. Calmer is a robot designed to reduce infant pain. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of Calmer on heart rate variability (HRV) during routine blood collection in preterm infants. In a randomized controlled pilot trial, 10 infants were assigned to either standard care ( n = 5, facilitated tucking [FT]) or Calmer treatment ( n = 5). HRV was recorded continuously and quantified using the area (power) of the spectrum in high and low frequency (HF: 0.15-0.40Hz/ms
