Three pregnant patients with chickenpox pneumonia are described. A review of reports published since 1965 together with these cases shows that 28 of the 46 women (61%) were pregnant, and 21 were in the last trimester.

Cardioventilatory coupling (CVC) is the temporal coherence of respiratory and cardiac rhythms. We have suggested that this coherence is the result of triggering of inspiratory onset by a preceding cardiovascular afferent. One implication of this triggering hypothesis is that coupling should only exist under conditions of spontaneous ventilation and not under conditions where the ventilatory per...
