Esophageal Motility and Airway Defenses Among Infants

Completed

Conditions studied: Infant, Premature, Diseases, Congenital Abnormalities, Perinatal Asphyxia

In brief

Feeding difficulties and airway related consequences contribute significantly to the infant mortality and morbidity. Some of these problems may be dependent on neural control and muscular function. Prematurity, congenital anomalies and perinatal depression represent three important conditions in infants, that may have feeding and airway difficulties.Development of motility of the foregut and the adaptation during normal and disease in developing infants is unclear.
