Sepsisthe presence of bacteria, virus, fungus, or other organism in the blood or other tissues and the toxins associated with the invasion.
Of 4 million births each year, 56,000 are VLBW (<1.5 Kg). For them the risk of sepsis is high (25-40%)
Significant mortality and morbidity (doubled risk of death in VLBW infants; increased length of NICU stay; high cost). The diagnosis of neonatal sepsis is difficult, with a high rate of false negatives
Physicians administer antibiotics early and often.
Can heart rate monitoring give early warning of sepsis?
(The invading organisms, or the immune response, may affect the pacemaking system.)

Statistical Measures of RR Interval Data
Standard Deviation and Sample Entropy: Variability in the signal.
Sample Asymmetry: Prevalence of decelerations over accelerations implies a skew, or asymmetry, in the data which we can detect statistically.
![Page 10: Electronic Detection and Diagnosis of Health and Illness of Premature Infants](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816868550346895dded219/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Find correlation of those measures with illness, and report correlation in terms of “fold increase of risk of sepsis”:
Take any random moment.Examine a window of 24 hours (plus 18 hours or minus 6 hours) around that moment.On average, 1.8% of the infants in our first study had a sepsis event within that 24 hour window.
If we report a “five-fold increase of risk of sepsis”, it means that about 10% of the infants showing those heart rate characteristics had a sepsis event within that 24 hour window.
![Page 11: Electronic Detection and Diagnosis of Health and Illness of Premature Infants](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816868550346895dded219/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Medical Predictive Science Corporation has developed and is marketing a system for
Heart Rate Characteristics monitoring in the NICU.
A computer beside each NICU bed continuously collects ECG data, extracts times of R peaks,
tracks RR intervals, and provides the following Heart Rate Observation (HeRO).
This system is installed in several NICUs in the US, and a large randomized clinical trial has just been
completed.

Conclusion 1:
New quantitative analysis of noninvasive, electronically-measured heart rate characteristics –
standard deviation, asymmetry, and sample entropy –
provides an early noninvasive warning of sepsis events.

saves lives.

Would direct measures of decelerations provide additional information?

Conclusion 2
Counting and measuring decelerations gives a second method for early
warning of sepsis.
Also an important finding was that HR decelerations are surprisingly similar in infants.
![Page 26: Electronic Detection and Diagnosis of Health and Illness of Premature Infants](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816868550346895dded219/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
DiscoveryWe found that, within extended clusters of decelerations, there were sometimes shorter intervals of time, lasting up to several
hours, in which the decelerations showed remarkable periodicity.
![Page 27: Electronic Detection and Diagnosis of Health and Illness of Premature Infants](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816868550346895dded219/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
For six infants in our study population we identified deceleration clusters in which periodicity was maintained for at least ten minutes.
In these periodic bursts of decelerations, the time to the next deceleration was about 15 sec.
![Page 28: Electronic Detection and Diagnosis of Health and Illness of Premature Infants](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816868550346895dded219/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
New Question:
What Causes Periodic Decelerations?
Can we develop a model capable of producing decelerations like those observed in neonatal
HR records? Such models can guide future observations or experiments on animals.

HR jumps from small fluctuations [“steady-state”] to periodic decelerations [above-threshold oscillations].

ConclusionOutput of a Noisy Hopf Bifurcation Model
ResemblesObserved Periodic Decelerations
Thus we have a mathematical model with minimal physiological assumptions: a noisy Hopf bifurcation.
Is there a physiologically-based model?

1. Pacemaker cells
Sino-Atrial node cells are the natural pacemaker of the heart. Can they go into “FM” mode with period ~15 seconds?
2. Baroreflex loop
The feedback loop connecting blood pressure and heart rate can go into oscillation with period ~14 seconds in infants. Does this resemble the observations?
3. Periodic apneas
Apneas produce decelerations of the heart. Sometimes they occur periodically, and the period is commonly ~15 seconds.

Hypothesis: Noisy Precursors are Familiar Mayer Waves.
There MUST be a nearby threshold.
Decelerations are result of a parameter going above the bifurcation.

The Future: Incoming Data Streams
1. Electronic diagnosis of infectious disease? Can we identify invading organisms by HR monitoring?
Preliminary evidence:
Reduced variability Gram-positive bacteria (e.g. Streptococci, Staphylococci) vancomycin
Clusters of decels Gram-negative bacteria (e.g. E. coli, Pseudomonas) gentamicin, cefotaxime
If this preliminary result holds up, we have the first example of continuous, noninvasive, purely electronic monitoring that gives early warning of infectious disease and also gives partial diagnosis, thereby identifying the recommended therapy.

The Future: Experiments proposed or discussed
2. Quadriplegics are subject to infections that they do not feel. Can heart rate monitoring provide early warning?
3. Can large decelerations be induced in animals?
Models suggest that increasing the time delay in the baroreflex loop pushes the system above bifurcation.
Can this be done by chemical means (beta blockers)?Or electrical means (cut the sympathetic nerve
and use an electrical time delay circuit)?
What happens when corresponding experiments are done on newborn or premature animals?

Conclusions
1. Decelerations are correlated with illness, and can be used as a new, noninvasive monitor for illness of premature infants.
2. Periodic decelerations resemble the output of a model based on Hopf bifurcation theory.
3. Study of periodic apneas is the next step.
4. The search for corresponding phenomena in animals has clinical, developmental, and dynamical significance.
5. When we quants work together with physicians, and overcome the knowledge barrier and communication barriers between us, important and unexpected advances in health care can be made.

Three types of apnea are common in premature infants.1)Obstructive apnea : a blockage of the airway, typically accompanied by struggling or thrashing movements of the infant. 2)Central apnea : cessation of respiratory drive, and the infant makes no effort to breathe. 3)Mixed apneas : obstructive central.
Central apnea is taken to indicate immaturity of control of respiration, and discharge from UVa NICU is delayed until apneas have been absent for 8 days.
Apnea may be cause or an effect of many other clinical illnesses including sepsis or abnormal neurologic development. It is a serious clinical event which needs immediate medical attention.
However, the current generation of apnea monitors is unsatisfactory.

Data Collection
- Since January 2009, we have collected all waveform and vital sign data from the bedside electronic monitors in the UVa NICU. - Waveforms: ECG, Chest Impedance, Pulse Ox- Vital signs: Heart & respiration rates, oxygen saturation of
hemoglobin- ~ 1 TB / Baby-Year
- About 1300 admissions for over two years, more than 300 VLBW infants.
- Monitor alarms are stored (e.g. brady, desat, and apnea etc..). - Clinical data relevant to respiratory support are entered manually into

Chest Impedance Measurement
• Basic impedance (static) : several hundred ohms: muscles, tissue, blood + electrode-skin transitions, and wires.
• Respiration : ~ 2 ohm - Air has poor conductivity
- More air in the lung, higher impedance• Heart activity : ~ 0.5 ohm - Blood is more conductive than air
- Pumping blood out of thorax, less impedance
• Easiest way to monitor the respiration of baby • Impedance between two electrodes placed at the chest.• Use two electrodes already in use for the measurement of the EKG signal, but use a frequency (52 kHz) far outside the EKG signal.

Current Studies
What fraction of apneas are recorded by nurses? (~1/3)How does the apnea rate change with age? ^Does caffeine reduce apnea? (?)Do transfusions reduce apnea? (Yes)Can we get early warning of serious apneas? (Maybe)What is the significance of long apneas?Are short but periodic apneas benign?
Future Work
•Convert to real-time monitor- The system is set up for retrospective work : collecting statistics of apnea events and correlation with other clinical events.•Combined with (wearable) Automatic Stimulation system. - e.g. vibrate shirt, mattress and so on. •Improve sepsis detection?

Conclusions
1. Decelerations are correlated with illness, and can be used as a new, noninvasive monitor for illness of premature infants.
2. Periodic decelerations resemble the output of a model based on Hopf bifurcation theory.
3. Study of periodic apneas is the next step.
4. The search for corresponding phenomena in animals has clinical, developmental, and dynamical significance.
5. When we quants work together with physicians, and overcome the knowledge barrier and communication barriers between us, important and unexpected advances in health care can be made.

ASSUME: the heart rate is governed by some set of
feedback loops that can be modeled by some big set of differential equations
dx/dt = F(x;p)x = (x1,x2,…) (dynamical variables)p = (p1,p2,…) (parameters)
Example: x1 = heart rate, x2 = blood pressure, x3 = …

2. The equations have a “rest point” at which all variables are constant (including HR)
F(xrest(p);p) = 0.
Move origin of coordinates so rest point = 0.
3. F(x;p) can be expanded in a Taylor series in x’s.
F(x;p) = Mx + xNx +….

[Center Manifold Theorem]
In the many-dimensional y-space, there is a smooth two-dimensional surface called the center manifold, in which all the interesting behavior occurs:
a. If the system starts on that surface, it stays on that surface
b. If it starts elsewhere, it decays to that surface
c. The equations in that surface have a Taylor expansion
![Page 88: Electronic Detection and Diagnosis of Health and Illness of Premature Infants](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816868550346895dded219/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
AND FURTHERMORE:[Normal Form Theorem]
There exists a smooth change of coordinatessuch that the diff eqs can be put into a “Normal Form”; using polar coords in the center manifold, that form is:
3 5dr / dt r ar br ...d / dt ...
and this is easy to analyze !!!!

YOU can easily show:
As increases through zero, The stable rest point goes unstable, and
EITHER A stable cycle appears
OR
An unstable cycle disappears
That is a Hopf bifurcation.

Summary: In the many-dimensional space, there is a smooth two-dimensional attractor in which all the interesting behavior occurs, and there exists a smooth change of coordinates such that the diff eqs can be put into a “Normal Form”:
As increases through zero, the stable rest point goes unstable, and either a stable cycle appears,or an unstable cycle disappears
That is a Hopf bifurcation.

In the new variables the motion is a sinusoidal oscillation,
We can connect to time between beats RR(t)by assuming RR = RR(u(t)) = RR(r cos ).
But we know the shape of the decelerations, and we can represent that shape by a Fourier cosine series.
Then the sinusoidal oscillation is converted into a sequence of decelerations.

Figure 5. This figure shows a 60-s trace of R-R interval and systolic blood pressure values of the 3-min segment, as presented in Figure 1. It shows the temporal relationship between systolic blood pressure (SBP) and R-R interval fluctuations. SBP (left y axis) and R-R interval (right y axis) values are shown as a function of time. High frequent fluctuations with small amplitude variation, related to respiratory activity, can be observed. In addition, approximately six low frequent fluctuations with a variation of 3 mmHg per cycle in this 60-s trace can be observed, corresponding to an oscillation frequency of approximately 0.1 Hz. Each rise in SBP (indicated by the first arrow) is followed by an increase in R-R interval (indicated by the second arrow), with a time delay varying from 1.5 to 4 s (periods between arrows). The averaged time delay from this 60-s trace (2.7 s) is close to the calculated transfer phase.

Comparison of model (based on adult data) with observations:
There is a bifurcation which produces large regular oscillations in HR. Increase in delay time of sympathetic action gives the bif. Shape of decels – could be better.
Liapunov exponent is too small. (Slow approach to steady oscillations.)
It’s a soft Hopf bif instead of a hard Hopf bif. (I think by playing with parameters we might convert it to hard Hopf.)
