Sleep-Wake Cycle in Newborns with 28 - 32 Weeks of Gestation: A Comparative Study of Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation
Abstract:Background: Sleep is a central component of brain development. Preterm neonates follow an exclusive sleep-wake rhythm in a way that they can sleep up to 22 hours per day, 70% of which is spent during active sleep. Sleep can create a period of time for the production of active neurotransmitters, which can enhance brain development flexibility. Objectives: It is a matter of controversy whether the widespread use of nonsynchronized nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) in neonatal intensive car… Show more
