  • Title: Sodium transport in airway epithelium correlates with lung compliance in healthy newborn infants.
    Author: Helve O, Pitkänen O, Kirjavainen T, Andersson S.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 2005 Feb; 146(2):273-6. PubMed ID: 15689923.
    Abstract:
    To study the relation between sodium transport in airway epithelium and postnatal pulmonary adaptation, we measured nasal potential difference at 1 to 4 hours and lung compliance at 21 to 48 hours after birth in 20 healthy infants. Sodium transport correlated with lung compliance ( r 2 = 0.40, P < .003). Airway sodium transport plays a role in postnatal pulmonary adaptation.
