    Abstract Arousal from sleep is a major defense mechanism in infants against hypoxia and/or hypercapnia. Arousal failure may be an important contributor to SIDS. Areas of the brainstem that have been found to be abnormal in a majority of SIDS infants are involved in the arousal process. Arousal is sleep state dependent, being depressed during AS in most mammals, but depressed during QS in human infants. Repeated exposure to hypoxia causes a progressive blunting of arousal that may involve medullary raphe GABAergic mechanisms. Whereas CB chemoreceptors contribute heavily to arousal in response to hypoxia, serotonergic central chemoreceptors have been implicated in the arousal response to CO(2). Pulmonary or chest wall mechanoreceptors also contribute to arousal in proportion to the ventilatory response and decreases in their input may contribute to depressed arousal during AS. Little is known about specific arousal pathways beyond the NTS. Whether CB chemoreceptor stimulation directly stimulates arousal centers or whether this is done indirectly through respiratory networks remains unknown. This review will focus on arousal in response to hypoxia and CO(2) in the fetus and newborn and will outline what we know (and do not know) about the involvement of the carotid body in this process.

    Abstract The failure of chemoreflexes, arousal, and/or autoresuscitation to asphyxia may underlie some sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) cases. In Part I, we showed that some SIDS infants had altered 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)2A/C receptor binding in medullary nuclei supporting chemoreflexes, arousal, and autoresuscitation. Here, using the same dataset, we tested the hypotheses that the prevalence of low 5-HT1A and/or 5-HT2A/C receptor binding (defined as levels below the 95% confidence interval of controls-a new approach), and the percentages of nuclei affected are greater in SIDS versus controls, and that the distribution of low binding varied with age of death. The prevalence and percentage of nuclei with low 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A/C binding in SIDS were twice that of controls. The percentage of nuclei with low 5-HT2A/C binding was greater in older SIDS infants. In >80% of older SIDS infants, low 5-HT2A/C binding characterized the hypoglossal nucleus, vagal dorsal nucleus, nucleus of solitary tract, and nuclei of the olivocerebellar subnetwork (important for blood pressure regulation). Together, our findings from SIDS infants and from animal models of serotonergic dysfunction suggest that some SIDS cases represent a serotonopathy. We present new hypotheses, yet to be tested, about how defects within serotonergic subnetworks may lead to SIDS.

    Abstract Objective: To compare the level of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) delivered by the RAM cannula system (Neotech, Valencia, CA) with that delivered by a traditional CPAP nasal delivery interface (Hudson prongs; Hudson-RCI, Temecula, CA) in preterm infants with respiratory distress.
    Methods: This was a crossover intervention study in a convenience sample of preterm infants with respiratory distress requiring treatment with CPAP. We measured the mean intraoral (pharyngeal) pressure, which approximates the applied CPAP level, using both the RAM cannula and Hudson prongs. The primary outcome was a comparison of the differences between the set CPAP levels and the measured intraoral pressures of both delivery systems.
    Results: We analyzed data from 12 preterm infants with mean (standard deviation) birth weight of 1,225 (405) g and gestational age of 28.4 (2.1) weeks at a median postnatal age of 10 days. The mean difference (95% confidence interval) between the set CPAP level and measured intraoral pressure was -2.45 cm H
    Conclusion: For given set CPAP pressure level in preterm infants, the RAM cannula system consistently delivers lower pharyngeal pressure (effective CPAP) levels than Hudson prongs.

    Abstract Central chemoreception is active early in development and likely drives fetal breathing movements, which are influenced by a combination of behavioral state and powerful inhibition. In the premature human infant and newborn rat ventilation increases in response to CO(2); in the rat the sensitivity of the response increases steadily after ∼P12. The premature human infant is more vulnerable to instability than the newborn rat and exhibits periodic breathing that is augmented by hypoxia and eliminated by breathing oxygen or CO(2) or the administration of respiratory stimulants. The sites of central chemoreception active in the fetus are not known, but may involve the parafacial respiratory group which may be a precursor to the adult RTN. The fetal and neonatal rat brainstem-spinal-cord preparations promise to provide important information about central chemoreception in the developing rodent and will increase our understanding of important clinical problems, including The Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome, and periodic breathing and apnea of prematurity.

    Methods: We examined peak EA
    Results: Twenty one premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome included in the study had a mean ± SD) gestational age of 28 ± 2.6 weeks and mean birthweight of 1,208 ± 611 g. The first extubation attempt occurred at a median age of 1 d (interquartile range 1-2 d). One third of the infants failed the first extubation attempt. Infants with failed extubations were significantly smaller (mean ± SD birthweight 788 ± 266 g versus 1,417 ± 632 g) and of lower gestational age (mean ± SD 26 ± 1.9 weeks versus 29 ± 2.6 weeks) compared with those with successful extubation. Mean peak EA
    Conclusions: This small study suggests that the pre-extubation peak EA

    Abstract Objective: To compare the level of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) delivered by the RAM cannula system (Neotech, Valencia, CA) with that delivered by a traditional CPAP nasal delivery interface (Hudson prongs; Hudson-RCI, Temecula, CA) in preterm infants with respiratory distress.
    Methods: This was a crossover intervention study in a convenience sample of preterm infants with respiratory distress requiring treatment with CPAP. We measured the mean intraoral (pharyngeal) pressure, which approximates the applied CPAP level, using both the RAM cannula and Hudson prongs. The primary outcome was a comparison of the differences between the set CPAP levels and the measured intraoral pressures of both delivery systems.
    Results: We analyzed data from 12 preterm infants with mean (standard deviation) birth weight of 1,225 (405) g and gestational age of 28.4 (2.1) weeks at a median postnatal age of 10 days. The mean difference (95% confidence interval) between the set CPAP level and measured intraoral pressure was −2.45 cm H 2 O (−3.36, −1.55) with the RAM cannula and +0.40 cm H 2 O (−0.30, 1.12) with Hudson prongs, p  = 0.0002.
    Conclusion: For given set CPAP pressure level in preterm infants, the RAM cannula system consistently delivers lower pharyngeal pressure (effective CPAP) levels than Hudson prongs.
