Glossary of Terms

Pneumogram
Recording of heart rate, breathing rate, blood oxygen saturation, and air movement in and out of the lungs during sleep, often called a sleep study. It is used to identify abnormal breathing patterns and their consequences. Almost all premature infants and some full- term infants have breathing patterns that are less regular than those seen in older infants.
This is Children's Glossary of Medical Terms - and much more. You'll find the basic definitions and, for many medical subjects, a larger medical context written by an experienced Children's pediatrician. All the definitions are in an easy-to-print format.
