Pediapod: 21 May 2015 - Baby learns to breathe
from Springer Nature · host Springer Nature
At the moment of birth, babies go through the most disruptive physiological transition they will ever experience: they rid their lungs of fluid and start to breathe. Then the umbilical cord is clamped, shutting off air and blood supply from the mother and cementing their independence. New insights into this process, detailed in a review article by Stuart Hooper and colleagues, could help ease the transition for babies who have problems beginning to breathe on their own. www.nature.com/pr/index.html
