Resumen
Periodic breathing is a common occurrence in term and preterm infants. The mechanisms which switch breathing on and off within a cycle of periodic breathing are not certain. Since immature infants may experience diaphragmatic muscle fatigue, one potential switching mechanism is fatigue. The object of the present study is to investigate the possible role of diaphragmatic fatigue in determining the relative duration of apnea and ventilation in the periodic breathing cycle.
