Abstract

134 preterm infants were investigated in their ability to coordinate sucking and breathing. Of those infants who did not coordinate, 79% showed immature cardiorespiratory control whereas of those who suck and breathe simultaneously only 12% had poor cardiorespiratory control. This finding suggests that in infants with poor coordination of sucking and breathing an investigation of cardiorespiratory control might be indicated.
