Primary sleep apnoea of newborn - what does this mean
Primary sleep apnoea of newborn is a condition in which a baby experiences pauses in breathing during sleep. it is caused by immature respiratory control centers in the brain which are unable to regulate breathing patterns and can lead to low oxygen levels in the blood. treatment may include supplemental oxygen, caffeine, and mechanical ventilation.
What happens during the disease - primary sleep apnoea of newborn
Primary sleep apnoea of newborn is a condition in which a newborn's breathing pauses or becomes shallow during sleep, resulting in oxygen desaturation. it is thought to be caused by immaturity of the central nervous system's control of breathing, leading to episodes of apnoea where the newborn is unable to maintain adequate respiratory effort. this can lead to hypoxia, which can cause long-term damage to the brain and other organs.
