- Abstract:
- The examination of the respiratory function in 184 sleeping infants gave evidence of a significant difference in several parameters between the so-called SIDS risk group and the control group. The risk group (97 babies) consists of 60 infants with frequent prolonged apneas, 30 infants with postnarcotic apneas and 7 near miss infants. Polygraphic registration during sleep showed significantly more apneas in the risk group. These apneas often appeared more frequently during certain periods. The average respiratory deficit expressed as the MA-value (MA = average apnea duration) in the risk group was significantly higher than in control infants. Besides that we were able to prove a more frequent pathological gastroesophageal reflux in the risk infants than in control infants.
