Speed and profile of the arterial peripheral chemoreceptors as measured by ventilatory changes in preterm infants

To measure the response time of the peripheral chemoreceptors, we studied 13 preterm infants [birth weight 1602 +/- 230 g (mean +/- SEM); gestational age 31 +/- 1 wk; postnatal age 15 +/- 1 d] during inhalation of 21% O2 (15 +/- 5 s) followed by 100% O2 (1 min). We used a flow-through system to meas...
