An explanation for failure of impedance apnoea alarm systems.
24-hour recordings of the ECG and respiration, the latter from an impedance technique, have shown a phenomenon which could account for hitherto unexplained failures of impedance apnoea alarm systems. Whenever apnoea is accompanied by bradycardia there is a pronounced increase in the amplitude of the cardiac impulse on the respiration carrier. This imitates the respiration signal and prevents th...
متن کاملBradycardia and associated respiratory changes in neonates.
Electrocardiogram and patterns of respiration were recorded continuously in 9 newborn infants having episodes of bradycardia. The episodes were not associated with demonstrable apnoea, either by using an apnoea mattress or by visual observation. The 'non-apnoea' associated bradycardia was always associated with changes in respiratory pattern, of which three different forms could be identified. ...
متن کاملApnoea, bradycardia, and oxygen saturation in preterm infants.
To analyse the effects of apnoea and bradycardia on the oxygen saturation (SaO2) of preterm infants and to make recommendations for apnoea alarm limits, polygraphic recordings were made on 89 occasions of 27 preterm infants; 1029 apnoeic episodes were analysed. Reduction in SaO2 was positively correlated with duration of apnoea, but the scatter of results was such that reductions in SaO2 of up ...

A technique for monitoring the ventilated neonate's own respiratory efforts using a pneumatic capsule apnoea alarm is described.
متن کاملMultiple system atrophy presenting as central sleep apnoea.
A 61-yr-old male presented with apparent idiopathic central sleep apnoea but after 4 yrs developed features of autonomic, cerebellar and extrapyramidal dysfunction consistent with a diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (MSA). Though central sleep apnoea can occur in multiple sleep apnoea, it is less frequent than obstructive sleep apnoea and occurs in the later stages of the disease. The pathog...
