The respiratory pattern of each of eight infants with Arnold-Chiari malformation was studied, employing an especially constructed nosepiece for the pneumotachograph. The apparatus was developed, using the principle that infants are nose breathers. Respiratory function was normal in seven infants and abnormal in one. The respiratory pattern of infants with ACM should be critically reviewed upon observing any changes in breathing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
