To determine the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on ventilatory response to CO2 and inspiratory and expiratory duration in preterm infants, 24 preterm infants with an average birth weight of 1220 g were studied at a mean age of 10.6 days. CPAP was applied via an uncuffed endotracheal tube. Testings were performed between ambient pressure and a positive airway pressure of 10 cm H2O. Approximately 2/3 of the applied pressure was transmitted to the esophagus. All infants demonstrated a ventilatory response to carbon dioxide of less than 50 ml/min per mm Hg Pco2 at ambient pressure, and no infant showed significant improvement at increasing levels of CPAP. Drive to breathe, as reflected in the inspiratory flow rate (Vt/Ti) also failed to change significantly. It may be concluded that in the apparent absence of significant changes in lung volume, CPAP fails to increase sensitivity to CO2 in preterm infants recovering from hyaline membrane disease.

This paper presents an impedance plethysmography system suitable to perform a continuous monitoring of human breath activity. The problem of motion artifact is mitigated through the use of a correction technique exploiting an additional inertial sensor able to detect movements of the arms of the subject under test. The correction algorithm is based on a simple correlation technique and only requires a very brief training at the beginning of the acquisition session, with the monitored subject performing random movements in apnea condition. Application of the proposed system to a healthy adult volunteer demonstrates the potentiality of the correction algorithm, which, thanks to its extreme simplicity and low computational cost, is a suitable candidate for implementation in a low-cost and portable monitoring system
