The instantaneous heart rate shows a variation around the mean heart rate caused by cardioregulatory mechanisms which are mediated through the sympathetic and vagal autonomic nervous system. To gain more insight into the influence of physiological parameters on neonatal heart rate variability a study was performed in four healthy preterm newborns during the first five days of life. Instantaneous heart rate, respiration rate, transcutaneous pO2, blood pressure and behaviour were recorded during 40 minutes four times a day. Long term heart rate variability was calculated as the difference between p95 and p5 of instantaneous heart rate values sampled during three minutes. A clear relationship between long term variability and age (maturity of the autonomic nervous system), respiration rate (respiratory sinus arrhythmia or a tidal volume mediated effect) and behaviour (increase of sympathetic tone during REM sleep) was found. No influence of blood pressure, heart rate, and transcutaneous pO2 within physiological ranges could be detected. The relative influence of the different physiological parameters on heart rate variability has to be established before the value of heart rate variability as a monitoring tool in neonatal intensive care can be investigated.
