The correlation of adenosine challenge test results with subsequent clinical course among young children with suspected asthma: a retrospective cohort study.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:A pilot study to compare pulmonary mechanics in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) cohort, specifically, comparing lung elastance between male and female infants in the NICU. HYPOTHESIS:Anecdotally, male infants are harder to ventilate than females. We hypothesize that males have higher model-based elast...
