EFFECT OF SUPINE AND PRONE POSITIONS ON DIAPHRAGM FUNCTION IN PREMATURE INFAN

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。由于睡眠姿势从俯卧位改为仰卧位，导致小岛屿发展中国家发病率下降的生理基础尚不清楚。最近，我们提出，在足月儿中，俯卧位引起的横隔膜功能障碍导致俯卧位与仰卧位相比，SID的发生率增加。这项研究的目的是观察仰卧位和俯卧位的横隔膜的尺寸和功能及其与婴儿猝死综合征的关系。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The physiological basis underlying the decline in the incidence of SIDS associated with changing the sleep position from prone to supine remains unknown. Recently, we have proposed that in term infants, prone position -induced diaphragm dysfunction contributes to the increased incidence of SIDS in prone vs. supine position. The purpose of this study is to look at the diaphragm dimensions and function in supine and prone positions and their association with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
