Recovery from bradycardia and desaturation events at 32 weeks corrected age and NICU length of stay: an indicator of physiologic resilience?

Recovery from bradycardia and desaturation events at 32 weeks corrected age and NICU length of stay: an indicator of physiologic resilience?

Background Preterm very low birth weight (VLBW) infants experience physiologic maturation and transitions off therapies from 32 to 35 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA), which may impact episodic bradycardia and oxygen desaturation. We sought to characterize bradycardias and desaturations from 32 to 35 w...

Zusammenfassung:Background Preterm very low birth weight (VLBW) infants experience physiologic maturation and transitions off therapies from 32 to 35 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA), which may impact episodic bradycardia and oxygen desaturation. We sought to characterize bradycardias and desaturations from 32 to 35 weeks PMA and test whether events at 32 weeks PMA are associated with NICU length of stay. Methods For 265 VLBW infants from 32 to 35 weeks PMA, we quantified the number and duration of bradycardias (HR
