Popis:	A variety of clinical problems including apnea of prematurity and the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) may be related to abnormalities in the maturation of the cardiopulmonary control mechanisms. However, even in the normal infant, there is little information concerning maturation of patterns of breathing. In addition, long-term measurements have seldom if ever been made under wholly non-invasive conditions. In this context non-invasive implies the absence of extraneous sensory stimuli especially to the face that may alter the breathing pattern1. Based on a new theoretical analysis of the barometric method of measuring tidal volume, we have developed a chamber that allows us to examine breathing in infants for several hours at a time while avoiding the use of neck seals and face masks.
