Measuring tidal volume and functional residual capacity change in sleeping infants using a volume displacement plethysmograph.
The noninvasive measurement of infant lung function during unsedated sleep in infants has been a long-standing objective in paediatric respiratory medicine. This note reports on the design and performance of a head-out volume-displacement plethysmograph (VDP) that overcomes some of the limitations of traditional lung function apparatus. The VDP comprises a rigid acrylic box with an integral wat...
متن کاملInsulin-secreting capacity in newborn infants.
The normal adult and older children exhibit an immediate insulin secretory response with peak insulin levels being reached within 5-10 minutes after a rapid intravenous glucose injection. It has been shown that the newborn disposes of glucose slowly,1,2 and that plasma insulin response to intravenous glucose injec tion is significantly delayed in newborn infants 3-5 Isles et al demonstrated tha...
متن کاملFunctional Vomiting in Newborn and Premature Infants.
In making a study of the symptom of vomiting in the newborn and premature infant, the descriptions here mentioned and the conclusions drawn are based on observations made in the wards of the Universitiits Kinderklinik and the Maternity Wards of the Peham Frauenklinik at Vienna. Pirquet has instituted a method of recording by means of symbols the exact description of the act of vomiting so that ...
متن کاملReference Values for Residual Volume, Functional Residual Capacity and Total Lung Capacity
Reference values play an important role in establishing whether, in an individual, measured volumes fall within a range to be expected for a healthy person of the same sex, similar stature, age, and other characteristics. Hence, reference values should be chosen that are appropriate to the person being investigated. Ideally, the reference values should be consistent; in the context of this pape...
متن کاملThe helium closed circuit method for measuring the functional residual capacity.
The measurement of pulmonary ventilation by determination of the vital capacity, with its timed components, and the maximal breathing capacity is relatively simple. The various methods for determination of lung volumes, however, are for the most part complex and subject to considerable causes of error. The use of helium as a foreign gas for measuring the functional residual capacity was first r...
