摘要
Repetitive polysomnograms were recorded from a total of 33 infants, 19 healthy preterm infants, and 14 term controls between 40 wk postconceptional age and 6 mo of age. These nighttime recordings lasted 2-4 h, except at 52 wk in preterm infants and at 3 mo of age in term infants when an overnight 12-h recording was performed. Minute by minute values of transcutaneous PO2 (PtcO2) and transcutaneous PCO2 (PtcCO2) levels and variability during the awake state, active sleep, and quiet sleep were obtained through computer analyses of the polygraphic data. The results from preterm infants at corrected postconceptional age could not be differentiated from those of control infants. PtcO2 levels rose between 40 wk and 3 mo, and PtcCO2 levels declined. Sleep states modulated only the variability of PtcO2, not the level; in contrast, state modulation was seen in both variability and level of PtcCO2 throughout the age span studied. During sleep the number of transient declines in PtcO2 > 2.03 kPa (15 mm Hg) decreased with advancing age. Hypercapnic PtcCO2 values decreased with age as well, but their prevalence in healthy, young infants suggests the need for reevaluation of criteria for hypercapnia based on transcutaneous measurements. The data demonstrate that ventilatory regulation continues to undergo changes between 1 and 3 mo, the age of highest risk for sudden infant death syndrome.
