ReviewThe newborn infant parasympathetic evaluation in pediatric and neonatology: a literature review.
The Newborn Infant Parasympathetic Evaluation (NIPE) is a heart rate variability-based technology for assessing pain and comfort in neonates and infants under 2-years-old. This review aims to investigate the clinical utility of the NIPE. ⋯ The results regarding NIPE's performances differ between studies. Given the limited number of studies and the heterogeneous outcomes, more studies are required to confirm the NIPE usefulness in the different clinical settings.
