apnea and Kernicterus

apnea has been researched along with Kernicterus in 7 studies

Apnea: A transient absence of spontaneous respiration.

Kernicterus: A term used pathologically to describe BILIRUBIN staining of the BASAL GANGLIA; BRAIN STEM; and CEREBELLUM and clinically to describe a syndrome associated with HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA. Clinical features include athetosis, MUSCLE SPASTICITY or hypotonia, impaired vertical gaze, and DEAFNESS. Nonconjugated bilirubin enters the brain and acts as a neurotoxin, often in association with conditions that impair the BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER (e.g., SEPSIS). This condition occurs primarily in neonates (INFANT, NEWBORN), but may rarely occur in adults. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p613)

"Central apnea, defined as cessation of breathing for ≥20s, is frequent in premature infants born at <34 weeks׳ gestation but uncommon among healthy late preterm (34(0/7)-36(6/7) weeks׳ gestation) and term (≥37 weeks׳ gestation) infants, where it is usually a clinical manifestation of a neurological or metabolic problem."8.90Apnea in acute bilirubin encephalopathy.
