  • Title: Effect of tilting on oxygenation in newborn infants.
    Author: Thoresen M, Cowan F, Whitelaw A.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1988 Mar; 63(3):315-7. PubMed ID: 3128187.
    Abstract:
    Transcutaneous (tc) PO2 in newborn infants increased on head up tilting (median increase 0.5 kPa at term, 1.0 kPa preterm). Head down tilting was associated with an equivalent fall in tcPO2. There was no change in tcPCO2. Tilting of infants mechanically ventilated for respiratory distress syndrome or surgery produced no consistent change in PO2.
