[Is the airway-occlusion-technique used in respiratory physiology hazardous for the newborn infant? (author's transl)].
The effect of the airway-occlusion-technique (AOT) on the cardiac- and respiratory frequency, respiratory compliance and pO2 was studied in 5 healthy and 7 cardio-respiratory ill newborns. During a mean study duration of 10.8 minutes (11 occlusions) none of the variables mentioned changed significantly. We conclude that the non-invasive AOT, which informs about lung mechanics and respiratory control, carries no risk for the newborn infant.
