Periodic breathing A normal neonatal breathing pattern, defined by ≥3 pauses, each ≥3 seconds, with <20 seconds of regular respiration between pauses Classification of apnea based on respiratory effort and airflow Central apnea No evidence of obstruction to airflow but absent chest wall motion Ca...

It was observed, in small neonates, that high concentrations of oxygen converted periodic breathing to a regular pattern, and, it was hoped, routine use of continuous oxygen would improve survival and reduce the risk of brain damage from unrecognized oxygen lack. The practice quickly became ...
Periodic breathing and apnea in preterm infants is usually caused by idiopathic AOP but may also be a sign of other neonatal diseases. Idiopathic AOP is a disorder of respiratory control and may be obstructive, central, or mixed. 1. Signs and Symptoms. In central apnea, there is complete ...
Apnoea and periodic breathing are the hallmarks of breathing for the infant who is born prematurely. Sustained respiration is obtained through modulation of respiratory-related neurons with inputs from the periphery. The peripheral arterial chemoreceptors, uniquely and reflexly change ventilation in ...
periodic breathing with apnea or bradycardia is present, yet cranial-nerve function may be spared and intact pupillary responses and spontaneous eye movements may be present if the injury is not severe. Hypotonia with decreased movement is associated with injury to cortical regions, and seizures ma...
Central apnea or periodic breathing Temperature instability is observed with neonatal sepsis and meningitis, either in response to pyrogens secreted by the bacterial organisms or from sympathetic nervous system instability. The neonate is most likely to be hypothermic. The infant may also have decreased...
The patient was apneic with occasional periodic breathing and seizure-like activity. She was intubated, volume-resuscitated with 8 mL/kg normal saline as well a continuous infusion of D10W at 4 mL/kg per hour. She was given ampicillin, gentamicin, and phenobarbital. She was then transferred ...
In premature infants, most respiratory pauses (RP) occur during periodic breathing (PB). A decreased frequency of RP during cooling may therefore be related to 1) a decrease of RP during PB, non-PB, or both and/or 2) a decrease in the relative amount of PB. To sort out these ...
