  • Title: Determination of ventilatory pattern in REM sleep in normal infants.
    Author: Haddad GG, Lai TL, Mellins RB.
    Journal: J Appl Physiol Respir Environ Exerc Physiol; 1982 Jul; 53(1):52-6. PubMed ID: 7118647.
    Abstract:
    Using methods that we devised for detecting and counting eye movements on the electrooculogram (EOG), we studied tidal volume (VT) and total respiratory cycle time (Ttot) as a function of the frequency of rapid eye movements (REM) during REM sleep in nine normal infants at 1 mo of age. In each of the nine infants, the mean VT and mean Ttot decreased with increasing frequency of eye movements. Instantaneous minute ventilation (VT/Ttot or V), however, did not change with the frequency of eye movements. In addition, there was no consistent change in the variability of VT, Ttot, or V when studied as a function of the frequency of eye movements. Our data support the notion that the ventilatory pattern in REM sleep depends in part on mechanisms that are inherent to REM sleep.
