Whereas oxygenation is relatively stable during active and quiet sleep in ventilated preterm infants, indeterminate sleep and arousals are associated with hypoxaemic episodes. Arousals have also been linked to apnoea in spontaneously breathing infants. Since well-defined sleep cycles are beneficial for the oxygenation of preterm infants, we should explore ways to promote their natural sleep while they are exposed to neonatal intensive care. Care practices such as clustering procedures, kangaroo care and optimal positioning have been shown to improve the integrity of sleep. Optimizing the sleep cycling might improve the long-term outcome of preterm infants.

The other 50% of apnoeas are central in origin, but in 40% of these there is evidence of upper airway obstruction, which also occurs in periodic breathing. The obstruction occurs in the upper pharynx. It is due to a failure of activation of the muscles, including the genioglossus, which support the compliant pharynx and normally prevent its collapse. Fibreoptic studies have demonstrated obstruction also at the entrance to the larynx by the arytenoid masses and the aryepiglottic folds. There is some evidence that inspiring against a closed airway can induce central apnoea, possibly via the intercostal-phrenic inhibitory reflex. Upper airway secretions can trigger obstruction. Continuous positive airway pressure distends both the pharynx and laryngeal aperture and so prevents mixed and obstructive apnoeas, but has no effect on central apnoea.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74783,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in neonatology : SN","volume":"9 3","pages":"Pages 213-219"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.siny.2003.11.005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24439686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mechanisms behind immature control of breathing are not fully understood, but seem to originate from a predominance of inhibitory input early in life on respiratory centres.
