- Breathing has a see-saw pattern as abdominal movements and diaphragm work out of unison
- A lack of surfactant causes infant respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) or
- 'Mucousy' babies usually have nasal mucous affecting their ability to breath which is often caused by:
- Compensatory rise in the respiratory rate initiated by the respiratory centre, the rise aims to remove hypercarbia and prevent hypoxia
- The most urgent need after delivery is the establishment of:
- (Respiratory adaptation) Surfactant is made from complex:
- Occurs in the nostrils (nares) when the body tries to attempt to minimise the effect of the airways resistance by maximising the diameter of the upper airways
- (Respiratory adaptation) Negative intrathoracic pressure of up to ............ kPa (.......... cm of water) is exerted as the first breath is taken.
