  • Title: Lack of response to bronchodilator of airway obstruction after mechanical ventilation in the newborn.
    Author: Tal A, Bar-Yishay E, Eyal F, Godfrey S.
    Journal: Crit Care Med; 1982 Jun; 10(6):361-2. PubMed ID: 7075229.
    Abstract:
    Thoracic gas volume (TGV) and specific airway conductance (SGaw) were measured in 6 infants, 21-42 weeks of age, who had been mechanically ventilated during the neonatal period. SGaw was significantly decreased while TGV was normal. Administration of a nebulized beta 2-sympathomimetic stimulant did not improve lung function. It is concluded that inhalation of beta 2 stimulant drugs is not effective in improving airway obstruction in infants with postventilation-elevated airway resistance and that this is likely to be of structural origin.
