METHOD FOR ASSESSING VEGETATIVE STATUS IN INFANTS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61B5/402 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, particularly paediatrics. The rest heart rate is metered in infants. The heart rate variability is analysed. The values in the 1-2-month-old infants 1001 < total spectrum power <1500 ms² and 701< tension index <1000 standard units, in the 3-4-month-old infants 1501< total spectrum power <2000 ms² and 501< tension index <700 standard units, in the 5-6-month-old infants 2001< total spectrum power <2500 ms² and 401< tension index <500 standard units, in the 7-12-month-old infants 2501< total spectrum power <3000 ms² and 101< tension index <150 standard units, reflect the optimal functions of the regulatory systems. If total spectrum power occurs to be greater than the optimal values, and tension index is less than the optimal values, an autonomous type of the vegetative heart rate regulation that testifies to the low adaptive capabilities. Total spectrum power less than the optimal values and tension index more than the optimal values shows manifested tension of the vegetative heart rate regulation that testifies to the supertension of the regulatory mechanisms.

EFFECT: method enables typing the vegetative regulation in the infants taking into account the age peculiarities, assessing the adaptive processes both in healthy children, and in deviant children, specifying the individual therapy and assessing the effectiveness of the expected rehabilitation measures.
