Abstract:
:1. Obstruction of the upper airway could be an initiating factor in the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Responses to upper airway obstruction include augmentation of respiratory efforts, active dilation of the upper airway and electrocortical arousal. Vulnerable individuals may fail to mount these responses effectively. 2. Respiratory and arousal responses to obstruction of the upper airway have been investigated in newborn lambs. In conscious lambs, nasal obstruction causes a profound augmentation of inspiratory efforts, mild asphyxiation and eventual formation of an oral airway. The ability to establish an oral airway involves both chemoreception and mechanoreception and improves with age. 3. In sleeping lambs, obstruction of tidal airflow leads to progressive hypoxaemia, augmentation of inspiratory efforts, bradycardia and arousal. Arousal occurs earlier and with less hypoxaemia and bradycardia in non-REM sleep than in REM sleep. Arousal occurs after inspiratory efforts have increased to the same extent during both sleep states, suggesting that mechanoreception, or a sense of inspiratory effort, is important in initiating arousal. 4. Obstruction of nasal tubes tends to cause arousal from sleep earlier, and with less hypoxaemia and less augmentation of inspiratory effort, than when a more compliant face mask is obstructed. This supports the suggestion that mechanoreception, which may be involved in the perception of inspiratory effort, is a determinant of arousal. 5. With increasing postnatal age, lambs become less arousable in response to airflow obstruction when in REM sleep. This suggests that lambs may become progressively more vulnerable to the effects of airway obstruction during the immediate newborn period.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
