The Relationship between the Newborn Rats' Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Damage and Heart Beat Interval Information

This research is aim to monitor the possibility of hypoxic-ischemic (abbr. HI) brain damage in newborn rats by studying and determining the newborns' heart rate/ R-R interval in turn to minimize the possibility of HI brain damage for human newborns during births. This research is based on the 20 newborn rats' heart rate/ R-R interval information during hypoxic insult. The data will be changed to the parameters Local Variation (Lv), Coefficient Variation (Cv), correlation coefficient (R2), and then be analyzed using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis and Successive Multiple Linear Regression Analysis. This paper shows that it will be possible to predict the future development of HI brain damage in human fetus by using of heart rate/ R-R interval information.
