BACKGROUND: Preterm infants often present with recurrent episodes of hypoxemia after mechanical ventilation.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the role of abdominal muscle activity and central apnea on the frequency and severity of hypoxemia episodes (HEs) in preterm infants with a history of mechanical ventilation.
METHODS: Continuous recordings of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO(2)), gastric pressure, respiratory inductance plethysmography and abdominal surface electromyography were obtained during 4 h from spontaneously breathing preterm infants who had recently been extubated and presented with frequent HEs.
RESULTS: Ten infants (gestational age 26.4 +/- 1.1 weeks, body weight 816 +/- 128 g, age 44 +/- 21 days, FiO2 0.31 +/- 0.09, mechanically ventilated for 33 +/- 37 days) were studied 12 +/- 7 (mean +/- SD) days after extubation. These infants presented with 10.2 +/- 9.3 HEs/h (SpO2 <88%, > or =10 s). Of these, 8.2 +/- 6.2 HEs/h were associated with abdominal muscle contraction while only 2.0 +/- 4.5 HEs/h were associated with > or =10 s apnea (p < 0.05). Of the more severe HEs (SpO(2) <75%, > or =10 s), 2.7 +/- 3.1 HEs/h were associated with abdominal contraction and only 0.7 +/- 2.1 HEs/h with apnea (p < 0.05). Resting lung volume decreased by 69 +/- 16% of tidal volume in HEs associated with abdominal contraction.
CONCLUSIONS: In this group of premature infants who presented with frequent HEs after mechanical ventilation, most HEs were associated with abdominal muscles contraction and a loss in lung volume. These findings provide an alternate mechanism to explain these episodes in spontaneously breathing preterm infants with a history of mechanical ventilation.
