Effects of feeding on respiratory mechanics of healthy newborn infants.

چکیده
In previous studies of the respiratory mechanics of newborn infants no attempt has been made to relate the results to feeding, though Barrie (1968) has described increased intra-oesophageal pressure swings following tube-feeding. In the present paper a technique for the study of neonatal respiratory mechanics is described, and the effects of feeding on the respiratory work and pulmonary compliance of 20 healthy newborn infants are reported.

Effect of feeding on ventilation and respiratory mechanics in newborn infants.
Measurements of ventilation and respiratory mechanics were made before and after tube feeding in 24 infants. In 12 infants with the respiratory distresssyndrome tidal volume tended to fall after feeding; as the respiratory rate increased after feeding; as the respiratory rate increased after feeding, minute ventilation remained unchanged. Hypoventilation is therefore unlikely to be the cause o...
متن کاملCOMPARISON OF BREASTFEEDING SELF-EFFICACY AMONG MOTHERS OF HOSPITALIZED AND NON-HOSPITALIZED NEWBORN, DURING THE FIRST WEEK, THE FIRST MONTH AND THE THIRD MONTH AFTER CHILDBIRTH
Background & Aims: Breast milk is the best food for all neonates. Self-efficacy includes the belief and confidence of the individual in his ability to perform health behaviors, including exclusive successful breastfeeding. Self-efficacy in breastfeeding is vital for breastfeeding continuation. In addition, self-efficacy is an important variable in predicting the duration of breastfeeding, as we...

Intruduction: There is a growing concern about an increasing bilirubin-induced neurological dysfunction (BIND) in healthy term neonates with no evidence of hemolytic disease or other risk factors. This study was done to determine the incidence of BIND in otherwise healthy, breast-fed newborn term infants without hemolysis who underwent exchange transfusion. Methods: This study was conducted i...

Background & Aim: Technology advancement has increased the survival rates of premature infants. Preterm newborns frequently experience oral feeding difficulties due to lack of coordination in sucking, swallowing and respiration. This may negatively affect attainment of independent oral feeding skill and leads to longer hospital stays. This study aimed to examine the effects of non-nutritive s...
متن کاملRespiratory impedance in healthy unsedated South African infants: Effects of maternal smoking
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Non-invasive techniques for measuring lung mechanics in infants are needed for a better understanding of lung growth and function, and to study the effects of prenatal factors on subsequent lung growth in healthy infants. The forced oscillation technique requires minimal cooperation from the individual but has rarely been used in infants. The study aims to assess the us...
