Autonomic regulation during quiet and active sleep states in very preterm neonates

Autonomic regulation during quiet and active sleep states in very preterm neonates

The immature autonomic nervous system (ANS) in premature infants regulates heart rate (HR) and respiration different during quiet sleep (QS) and active sleep (AS). Little information is available about ANS regulation in these subjects. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in autonomic re...
