We are looking at how infants and young children breathe in different positions. This will help us understand how children with different types of lung hypoplasia breathe and how the lung changes and grows. To do this, we will measure regional lung ventilation by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in three positions: lying on the back, right- and left-side in children with pulmonary hypoplasia and in healthy children without lung disease. EIT has been well established as a safe, non-invasive, radiation free method of assessing regional lung ventilation. There is no compensation available for this study.

This study seeks to understand why some babies born with a small jaw (micrognathia) have sleep apnea and/or trouble growing and others do not. By enrolling healthy babies, we hope to get a better understanding of how infants breathe during sleep and grow over the first months of life. This observational study involves two study visits that each include an overnight sleep study and some other non-invasive tests.
