1 Effects of anaesthesia on paediatric lung function

2 Fig 1 Ventilatory response to hypoxia in preterm infants [gestational age 33.5 (05) weeks] at one week of age compared with adult subjects. Lines indicate means (thick lines) sd (thin lines). Adapted from Sankaran and colleagues10 British Journal of Anaesthesia  , DOI: ( /bja/aew173) Copyright © 2016 The Author(s) Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Pressure-volume relationship of the respiratory system in the muscle-relaxed adult subject (thick lines) and in the muscle-relaxed infant (thin lines). Loops indicated tidal breathing which in adults starts from a higher functional residual capacity (FRC) than in infants. Note that residual volume relative to total lung capacity (TLC) is lower in infants than in adults. Adapted from Agostoni E32 and others.
