متن کاملHypothermia-induced respiratory arrest and recovery in neonatal rats.
To examine the changes in breathing that occur during progressive hypothermia and rewarming in neonatal rats, we cooled and rewarmed rat pups during the first 6 days of life. During cooling, breathing stopped when rectal temperature (Tr) fell below 10.7+/-0.24 degrees C, and recovered spontaneously during rewarming when Tr reached 13.3+/-0.38 degrees C, regardless of age. During cooling, breath...
