However, the impact of sleep position on cerebral oxygenation during infancy remains unknown. We assessed the effects of sleeping position, sleep state, and postnatal age on cerebral oxygenation by measuring tissue oxygenation index (TOI) during the first 6 months of infancy.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>SUBJECTS AND METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Seventeen healthy term infants (8 girls and 9 boys) were recruited as study participants. Infants were studied at ages 2 to 4 weeks, 2 to 3 months, and 5 to 6 months by use of daytime polysomnography, with additional measurements of blood pressure (Finometer, FMS Finometer Medical Systems, Amsterdam, Netherlands) and tissue oxygenation index (TOI) (NIRO 200 spectrophotometer, Hamamatsu Photonics KK, Tokyo, Japan).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In infants who slept in the prone position, TOI was lower in both quiet sleep (QS) and active sleep (AS) at age 2 to 4 weeks and in QS at age 2 to 3 months (P &amp;lt; .05). TOI was lower in AS compared with QS in infants aged 2 to 4 weeks (P &amp;lt; .05). When the infants reached 5 to 6 months of age, TOI was greater in AS (P &amp;lt; .05), as there was a profound decrease in TOI during QS (P &amp;lt; .05) over this period. No relationship was identified between blood pressure and TOI at any age.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In healthy infants cerebral oxygenation is reduced during sleep in the prone position. This reduction may underpin the reduced arousability from sleep exhibited by healthy infants who sleep prone, a finding that provides new insight into potential risks of prone sleeping and mechanisms of sudden infant death syndrome.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2010-2724","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,3,1]],"date-time":"2011-03-01T21:21:23Z","timestamp":1299014483000},"page":"e558-e565","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["Cerebral Oxygenation Is Depressed During Sleep in Healthy Term Infants When They Sleep Prone"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"127","author":[{"given":"Flora Y.","family":"Wong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Ritchie Centre, Monash Institute of Medical Research, and"},{"name":"Department of Paediatrics, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria, Australia; and"},{"name":"Monash Newborn, Monash Medical Centre, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicole B.","family":"Witcombe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Ritchie Centre, Monash Institute of Medical Research, and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephanie R.","family":"Yiallourou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Ritchie Centre, Monash Institute of Medical Research, and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sophie","family":"Yorkston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Ritchie Centre, Monash Institute of Medical Research, and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alicia R.","family":"Dymowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Ritchie Centre, Monash Institute of Medical Research, and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lalitha","family":"Krishnan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Ritchie Centre, Monash Institute of Medical Research, and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adrian M.","family":"Walker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Ritchie Centre, Monash Institute of Medical Research, and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rosemary S.
