The transition from an immature (biphasic) to a mature (sustained hyperpneic) response to a brief period of sustained hypoxia is believed to be well advanced by postnatal day 10 for newborn infants. However, a review of the supporting evidence convinced us that this issue warranted further, more sys
The mechanism underlying the biphasic ventilatory response to hypoxia in neonates is poorly understood. Because alveolar Pco, (PAco) decreases and remains low during hypoxia, it has been argued that a decrease in metabolism may occur. We hypothesized that if the late decrease in ventilation during h
We have developed a mathematical model to describe the dynamic ventilatory response to hypoxia. The ventilatory response to both transient (two to three breaths nitrogen) and 3 min step change hypoxic stimuli were measured in ten normal subjects during moderate exercise (oxygen consumption \(0.96 \p
