The Ritchie Centre is carrying out studies to determine
the long-term effects of preterm birth and fetal growth restriction on
cardiovascular control and function in children aged between 8 and 12 years. We
are looking for volunteers of children
who were born preterm (between 25 and 34 weeks gestation) with an appropriate
birth weight for their gestational age. The participants will firstly have
an ultrasound of their heart at Monash Heart, which will take about 30 minutes and
then an overnight sleep study at the Melbourne Children’s Sleep Centre, located
at Monash Medical Centre. Both of these procedures will be performed on the
same night. During the sleep study, we will attach leads to measure brain
activity, breathing, heart rate and blood pressure whilst the participants
sleep overnight. These measures are all non-invasive and will not hurt the
participants in any way. Sleep studies are overnight from 7:00pm and there are
facilities for making tea and coffee and watching DVDs. A parent is required to
stay and sleep overnight, and our staff and students will explain everything about
sleep to you. Being poor researchers we can only offer free parking and our
gratitude for participation!
