ABSTRACT
Placing preterm infants suffering idiopathic apnea of prematurity on the VPS had an effect on the infants' respiratory effort and achieved a reduction in the number of apneic episodes secondary to central and mixed apnea. However, VPS offered no benefits in the reduction of obstructive apnea in this study population. Because central apnea has been reported as the predominant type of apnea and VPS is a nontoxic, noninvasive, and easy-to-implement method of alleviating central and mixed apnea types, it seems prudent to give VPS which has the stimulus characteristics to preterm infants experiencing apnea of prematurity before other treatment modalities currently in use are tried. Further studies are warranted to determine if VPS is effective in a continuous long-term treatment for apnea of prematurity, for example, until the end of apnea.
