Abstract
Premature rabbit neonates were stimulated to breathe for time periods varying between 5 and 150 min. The distribution of bronchiolar epithelial lesions was determined morphometrically. Animals breathing for 5–10 min had no lesions. Focal necrosis and desquamation of bronchiolar epithelium were found in 36 of 46 animals breathing for 15–150 min. These lesions were similar to those previously observed in premature rabbit neonates after a few minutes of artificial ventilation.Keywords
