OBJECTIVE
Pulse oximeters are increasingly used for patient monitoring; however, they are traditionally very prone to motion artifact. Newly developed instruments have lower false alarm rates. We wanted to know whether this is achieved at the expense of an increased proportion of false negative
BACKGROUND
Phenytoin (PHT) teratogenicity has been related to embryonic arrhythmia due to the capacity of PHT to block I(K) channels pharmacologically, resulting in hypoxia-reoxygenation damage. The aim of this study was to further elucidate the proposed mechanism.
METHODS
Pregnant CD-1 mice were
BACKGROUND
Raised upper airway resistance may be involved in apnea of prematurity (AOP).
OBJECTIVE
To determine the effects of an oral versus a nasal gastric tube on episodes of hypoxemia and bradycardia in infants with AOP.
METHODS
In a randomized controlled cross-over trial, 32 infants (median
BACKGROUND
Irregular breathing causing hypoxia and bradycardia is a common problem of preterm infants but its pathophysiology is incompletely understood. Agitation provoked by environmental noise may play a role. We wanted to know if earmuffs can at least halve the rate of intermittent hypoxia in
OBJECTIVE
The "shortness of breath" or "breathing interruption" crisis can be considered a cause of hypoxia in childhood. It is characterized by the presence of a triggering factor followed by weeping and apnea in expiration accompanied by cyanosis or pallor. The sequence of events may include

A 3-week course of adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia (4500 m above sea level) inhibited baroreflex vagal bradycardia induced by a rapid rise of systemic blood pressure in conscious rats. Bradycardic responses to electrical stimulation of peripheral end of the right vagus nerve and methacholine
Hypoxemia and bradycardia are major complications associated with suctioning the neonate. Apnea has been reported following caregiving during peak hours of activity in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This study determined the incidence of hypoxemia, bradycardia, and apnea associated with the
Cardiac anatomy and rhythm were evaluated in a fetus at 39 weeks' gestation in a pregnant woman referred because of severe fetal bradycardia with a persistent fetal heart rate of 50-60 beats per minute. M-mode echocardiograms revealed supraventricular bradyarrhythmia. Umbilical cord blood analysis
The laryngeal chemoreflex involves bradycardia, apnea, swallowing and peripheral vasoconstriction. This reflex was studied in twelve infants, aged 5 days-28 weeks, who had sustained an apparent life-threatening event or were siblings of infants who had died of the sudden infant death syndrome. The
BACKGROUND
Obesity, apneic hypoxemia, and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are supposed to be the major causes for bradyarrhythmia in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The aims of this study were to compare clinical findings and diagnoses in patients with obstructive sleep apnea with and without
The functional significance of chemoreflexive hypoxic bradycardia was explored in Atlantic cod Gadus morhua L. (mean mass approximately 800 g, acclimated to a seawater temperature of 11 degrees C) by investigating responses to progressive hypoxia following section of the cardiac branches of cranial
BACKGROUND
Dofetilide is an antiarrhythmic drug that blocks the cardiac repolarizing current IKr ((IKr, rapid component of the delayed rectifying potassium current). Previous studies have shown that (a) IKr is essential for normal cardiac function of the embryonic heart and (b) dofetilide is
Central anticholinergic syndrome (CAS) following general anesthesia (GA) is a well known syndrome in children and adults. Many cases of CAS have been previously reported in the literature. However, there are only two reports of post resuscitation CAS after administration of small doses of atropine.
The pathogenesis of bradycardias in preterm infants is poorly understood. Because their pathogenesis may involve both apnea and hypoxemia, we set out to analyze the proportion of bradycardias that were associated with an apneic pause and/or a fall in arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), and the
