Funded Activity Summary

Breathing pauses referred to as apnea or periodic breathing occur frequently in the preterm infant, and often require intensive clinical vigilance to ensure survival. And yet the mechanisms that produce and terminate apnea are not understood. This study will investigate the mechanisms underlying infantile apnea and periodic breathing and the effectiveness of drugs and techniques currently used to control apnea by using a combination of infant animal model studies, mathematical modelling studies and studies in human preterm infants to improve our understanding of breathing control in infancy.
