title: [Respiratory function during wakefulness and sleep in a 7-year-old child with congenital alveolar hypoventilation of central origin].
abstract: Pulmonary function tests were performed in a 7 year-old girl with central alveolar hypoventilation syndrome treated with mechanical ventilation during sleep. Results showed: 1. during wakefulness decrease in residual functional capacity, in dynamic lung compliance and in lung transfer factor for CO; 2. during sleep the characteristics of the syndrome as reported in the neonatal period i.e. central alveolar hypoventilation in stages 2 and 3-4 which justified maintenance of mechanical ventilation when asleep.
