Background: Children and young adults with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) are at risk of cognitive deficits. They experience autonomic dysfunction and chemoreceptor insensitivity measured during ventilatory and orthostatic challenges, but relationships between these features are undefined.
Research Question: Can a biomarker be identified from physiologic responses to ventilatory and orthostatic challenges that is related to neurocognitive outcomes in CCHS?
Study Design And Methods: This retrospective study included 25 children and young adults with CCHS tested over an inpatient stay.

Early detection and rapid intervention can prevent death from opioid overdose. At high doses, opioids (particularly fentanyl) can cause rapid cessation of breathing (apnea), hypoxemic/hypercarbic respiratory failure, and death, the physiologic sequence by which people commonly succumb from unintentional opioid overdose. We present algorithms that run on smartphones and unobtrusively detect opioid overdose events and their precursors.

We report a gravida in fulminant acute respiratory distress syndrome, mechanically ventilated at 27 weeks estimated gestational age, who further deteriorated into severe combined hypercarbic, hypoxemic respiratory failure. At 30 weeks estimated gestational age, she was placed on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) because of refractory respiratory failure. Her physical status improved without fetal deterioration.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of two levels of partial neuromuscular block (NMB) on arytenoid abduction, tidal volume (V) and peak inspiratory flow (PIF) in response to a hypercarbic challenge in anesthetized dogs.
Study Design: Prospective laboratory study.
Animals: Eleven healthy male Beagle dogs aged 3-5 years.

Infants that succumb to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) have been identified with inner ear dysfunction (IED) at birth and on autopsy. We previously investigated whether IED could play a mechanistic role in SIDS. We discovered that animals with IED displayed significant suppression of movement arousal to a hypoxic-hypercarbic gas mixture under light anesthesia.
