Time taken to apply the electrodes and to display data for each method of application
| ECG leads connected to monitor and then applied to infant | ECG leads applied to infant and then connected to monitor | p Value | |
| Time to apply leads (s) | 10 (8–12) | 18 (15–20) | <0.001 |
| Time to display ECG waveform from lead application (s) | 5 (3–8) | 3 (2–5) | 0.033 |
| Time to display HR from lead application (s) | 16 (10–19) | 12 (9–22) | 0.596 |
| Total time to display HR (s) | 26 (21–30) | 34 (25–40) | 0.001 |
The values are expressed in median values (IQR).
HR, heart rate.
