Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Spectral analysis techniques were used to quantitate the association between respiration and heart rate variability in eight healthy and eight asphyxiated infants born at term gestation. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia was demonstrated in all healthy infants. This arrhythmia was significantly diminished in asphyxiated newborn infants. We conclude that newborn infants with low Apgar scores have a reduced respiratory sinus arrhythmia and that this reduction could account for the loss of short-term heart rate variability commonly associated with asphyxia.
