Abstract:The cardio-respiratory response to hypoxia is the subject of intense research in human infants, but is mostly limited to noninvasive studies. Animal investigation is an attractive alternative, but most animal studies have involved anesthetized or nonintact preparations, which may not reflect human physiology. The cardio-respiratory responses to hypoxia are not well documented in unanesthetized intact newborn animals. In particular, there is little information on the periodic breathing (PB) response to hypoxia … Show more
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.
