| Abstract | This report describes an investigation of the respiratory physiology of normal premature and full-term newborn infants. As in previous studies on normals (1-3), minute volumes, rates and tidal volumes have been measured. Additional measurements of CO2 production, plasma CO2 partial pressure, and intraesophageal pressure differences have allowed calculations of effective alveolar ventilation, functional dead space and estimates of the work of respiration. Since certain adaptations were necessary for the study of this age group, the techniques are reported in detail. The data from normal infants are the subject of this report; comparable data for newborns with respiratory distress are reported in a second paper (4). |
