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
While anterior/posterior chest x-rays (CXR) are routinely performed to estimate lung volume (LV) and adjust ventilator settings, the precise measurement of LV requires additional sophistication. In 31 infants ventilated because of surfactant deficiency (n = 23), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (n = 7), o
