[Characteristic features of the physiology of the oxygen supply in newborn infants].
At the moment of birth, the integrity of a neonate's respiratory, cardiovascular and neurologic system has to be established to permit a healthy transition from fetal to extrauterine life.--Difficulties of the cardiorespiratory function during the first days of life are the most common causes of death or illnesses among premature and mature newborn infants. In a short survey the main pathophysiological aspects of the respiratory adaptation, the cardiovascular transition and the oxygen transport in the neonatal period are explained.
