Respiratory muscle function in infants.
In newborns and infants a variety of respiratory disorders lead to ventilatory failure. In early life the ventilatory response to loaded breathing is limited. The risk factors of ventilatory failure are related to the developing respiratory pump because of the immaturity of the chest wall, respiratory muscles and coupling between thoracic and abdominal movements. Assessment of respiratory muscl...
متن کاملThe efficacy and safety of two different doses of caffeine in respiratory function of preterm infants
Background: Caffeine is widely used for prevention of apnea and helps successful extubation from mechanical ventilation. It facilitates the transition from invasive to noninvasive support and reduces duration of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in preterm infants. The optimum caffeine dose in preterm infants has not been well-studied in terms of benefits and risks. We compared efficac...
متن کاملRespiratory function measurements in infants and children
Most children above the age of 7–8 yrs can perform the full range of tests available for older individuals, using similar protocols to those described elsewhere in this Monograph. By contrast, assessments in young children and infants have generally been restricted to specialised research establishments, due to the lack of suitable equipment and the complexity of undertaking such measurements. ...
متن کاملAssessment of respiratory muscle function.
In the last two decades, respiratory muscle function in patients has received considerable attention, particularly since ROUSSOS and MACKLEM [1] hypothesized that respiratory muscle fatigue may be responsible for the development of respiratory failure. Although subsequent research has hitherto largely failed to demonstrate the frequent occurrence of respiratory muscle fatigue [2], it is now cle...
متن کاملAssociation of circulating angiotensin converting enzyme activity with respiratory muscle function in infants
BACKGROUND Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene contains a polymorphism, consisting of either the presence (I) or absence (D) of a 287 base pair fragment. Deletion (D) is associated with increased circulating ACE (cACE) activity. It has been suggested that the D-allele of ACE genotype is associated with power-oriented performance and that cACE activity is correlated with muscle strength. Re...
