    Notes: Abstract Serial measurements of functional residual capacity (FRC) were made in 22 infants (median gestational age at delivery 32 weeks, range 25–40) during the first 2 years of life. All infants had been delivered from pregnancies complicated by prolonged and preterm rupture of the membranes (PPROM) of at least 1 week in duration. The onset of membrane rupture was at a median of 26 weeks (range 15–32) with a median duration of 5.5 weeks (range 1–21). The mean FRC at all postnatal ages studied: 25 ml/kg at 6 and 12 months and 24ml/kg at 18 and 24 months did not differ significantly from the control population (mean 24ml/kg). There was, however, a wider scatter of results in the study population: four infants born very preterm consistently had FRC results above the 95% confidence limits of the controls but only two infants had FRCs consistently below this range. These results suggest PPROM may not be an invariable association of abnormal antenatal lung growth.

    Ventilatory requirements for respiratory distress syndrome in small-for-gestational-age infants (1992)

    Notes: Abstract Neonatal ventilatory requirements and outcome were examined in 135 very preterm, small-for-gestational age (SGA) infants to determine whether fetal growth retardation protects against severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in very immature infants. Their results were compared to those from gestational age-and gender-matched controls. Although there was no significant difference in the median duration of mechanical ventilation between the two groups, more SGA infants required ventilation and were ventilated because of RDS. In a subgroup also matched for mode of delivery, there was no significant difference between the proportion of SGA infants requiring mechanical ventilation for RDS compared to their matched controls. The mortality was greater in the SGA group. We conclude that fetal growth retardation does not protect against severe RDS.
