The development of cough.

D E Leith

    The American Review of Respiratory Disease
    |May 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Newborns have immature cough control, with less than half coughing spontaneously. Further research is needed on infant cough mechanics and respiratory control for better understanding of infant respiratory function.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric respiratory physiology
    • Neonatal respiratory control
    • Infant lung mechanics

    Background:

    • Cough control is underdeveloped in newborns, with spontaneous coughing occurring in less than half of infants.
    • The optimization of motor outflow timing and distribution for infant muscle and lung mechanics remains unclear.
    • Immature musculoskeletal and lung structures in newborns may impact cough effectiveness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the control, motor, and lung mechanical functions during coughing and forced expiration in human infants.
    • To describe normal and pathological aspects of infant respiratory system structure and function during coughing.
    • To identify areas for future research, including scaling techniques and models of forced expiration.

    Main Methods:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Review of existing literature on infant cough and respiratory mechanics.
  • Analysis of physiological data related to infant respiratory control and lung function.
  • Identification of knowledge gaps in the understanding of infant coughing mechanisms.

    • Main Results:

    • Newborns exhibit immature cough reflexes, with limited spontaneous or stimulated coughing.
    • Infant respiratory systems possess unique mechanical properties, including low lung recoil and tracheal collapsibility, affecting airflow.
    • Adequate inspiratory and expiratory pressures are present, but their utilization during infant coughing is not well-characterized.

    Conclusions:

    • Further research is essential to elucidate the intricacies of infant cough control and respiratory mechanics.
    • Understanding the developing respiratory system's functional and structural characteristics is crucial for addressing infant respiratory issues.
    • Advanced modeling and analysis of airflow dynamics are needed to improve our comprehension of infant forced expiration.
