The aim of the study was to describe the pattern of respiratory oscillation mechanics and responses to positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in bronchiolitis. Six infants were studied during the course of mechanical ventilation. A 20 Hz sinusoidal pressure variation was applied at the endotracheal

The measurement of passive respiratory mechanics by the single-breath occlusion technique is one of the more frequently used tests of infant lung function. Measurements are routinely done under chloral hydrate sedation, and a possible influence of sleep stages on these measurements has not been eval
Surfactant deficiency in newborn infants with hyaline membrane disease (HMD) reduces peripheral airway stability, leading to lung atelectasis, inhomogeneity of distribution of ventilation, ventilation/perfusion mismatch, and hypoxemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immediate effect of ex
