Below are the devices we will be using throughout the Baby BEAN study.
BIA
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis: A quick, painless measure of body composition done at your baby’s bedside
PEA POD
A device that measures body composition by Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP)
MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A scan that produces images of the brain
EEG
Electroencephalogram: A measure of brain activity at rest
ERP
Event Related Potential: A measure of brain processing speed in response to a sound or image
ANTHROPOMETRICS
– Weight, length, and head circumference
– All are clinically necessary… we will just get them a few days earlier than they would typically be measured
