Contribution of Immature Respiratory Control to the Respiratory Morbidity of Premies.
The Prematurity Related Ventilatory Control (Pre-Vent) Study: Present an outline of the goals and structure of the NHLBI sponsored multicenter Pre-Vent. Enrollment is now complete in this study designed to characterize the associations between immature respiratory control leading to apnea, bradycardia, and hypoxemia and later respiratory outcomes in preterm infants.
The Challenge of Characterizing Immature Respiratory Control in Preterm Infants: Indicate the challenge in characterizing instability in respiration and oxygenation in ELBW premies. Provide an overview of physiologic studies that evaluate respiratory control and function in this population.
Are Intermittent Hypoxemia Episodes the Harbingers for Later Morbidities? Provide data from the recent literature of the association between intermittent hypoxemia episodes and subsequent neurorespiratory morbidities.
Respiratory Morbidity in Former Premies is not just BPD.
Provide data on the high prevalence of wheezing and other respiratory disorders over the lifespan of former premies (which extends well beyond the BPD population) in Pre-Vent and other cohorts.
Primary Physiologic Outcomes: Provide early physiologically focused results from the Pre-Vent study focused on the natural history of disordered respiratory control in preterm infants in relation to long term respiratory outcomes.
Primary Clinical Outcomes: Characterize the relationship between apnea, bradycardia and hypoxemia episodes as precursors and clinically predictive parameters for later respiratory morbidities in the Pre-Vent cohort of high risk preterm infants.
