| Popis: | Recurrent episodes of hypoxemia may affect the growth, cardiac function, neurologic outcome, and survival of infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). As oral feeding might stress these infants by compromising pulmonary function even after hospital discharge, we measured oxygen saturation (Sao2) via pulse oximetry before, during the initial 10 minutes of, and immediately after oral feeding in 11 patients with BPD, 12 very low birth weight infants, and 23 healthy full-term infants. All infants with BPD had been previously discharged from the hospital after weaning from supplemental oxygen. Studies were done at a mean postconceptional age of 43 weeks while the infants were fed at home by one of their parents. Levels of Sao2 for the three groups were comparable before and during feeds. After feeding, the infants with BPD had significantly lower mean levels of Sao2 (84 ± 8% [SD] vs 93 ± 4% and 93 ± 3%, respectively; P < .01). They also spent more time after feeding with an Sao2 |
