Abstract

The prone sleeping position, particularly in prematurely born infants, is associated with an increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome. A possible mechanism is an impaired ability to respond to respiratory compromise. The hypothesis that the ventilatory response to a carbon dioxide (CO(2)) challenge in convalescent, prematurely born infants would be lower in the prone compared with the supine position was therefore tested.
