Changes in lung volume of preterm infants treated with a full course of antenatal steroids have not been investigated. We hypothesized that a full course of antenatal steroids would significantly increase functional residual capacity (FRC) in treated vs. untreated preterm infants. The objective of our study was to compare FRC and respiratory mechanics in steroid treated vs. untreated preterm infants. FRC and passive respiratory mechanics were prospectively studied within 36 hr of life in 20 infants (25\u201334 weeks of gestation) who had received a full course of antenatal steroids and in 20 matched untreated preterm infants. FRC was measured with the nitrogen washout method, and respiratory mechanics with the single\u2010breath occlusion technique.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Preterm infants who received steroids (n\u2009=\u200920; mean birth weight\u2009=\u20091,230 g; gestational age\u2009=\u200928.8 weeks) had a significantly higher FRC (29.5 vs. 19.3 mL\/kg; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt;\u20090.001) than untreated infants (n\u2009=\u200920; birth weight\u2009=\u20091,202 g; gestational age\u2009=\u200928.5 weeks). Passive respiratory system compliance was also increased in treated vs. untreated infants (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p><jats:p>In conclusion, FRC and passive respiratory system compliance were significantly improved in preterm infants (25\u201334 weeks gestation) treated with a full course of antenatal steroids, compared to matched untreated infants. Although this study was not randomized, it confirms that antenatal steroids have important effects on pulmonary function that may contribute to a decreased risk of respiratory distress syndrome in treated preterm infants.
