dc.description.abstract | <h4>Objectives</h4>To evaluate anorectal motor function in healthy premature and term infants with the use of micromanometric techniques.<h4>Study design</h4>Anorectal manometry was performed in 22 healthy neonates (9 female) with a mean postmenstrual age of 32 weeks (range, 30 to 38 weeks) with a micromanometric anorectal assembly (od 2.0 mm). The assembly incorporated a 2-cm-long sleeve sensor for measurement of resting anal sphincter pressures and relaxation, and 4 sideholes recorded anal and rectal pressures. Rectal distension was performed with a latex balloon or direct air insufflation to elicit the anorectal inhibitory reflex (AR).<h4>Results</h4>The mean anal sphincter pressure, rectal pressure, and rhythmic wave frequency were 40 mm Hg (range, 7 to 65 mm Hg), 11 mm Hg (range, 1 to 27 mm Hg), and 10/min (range, 8 to 14/min), respectively. A normal AR could be elicited in 21 of the 22 infants studied.<h4>Conclusion</h4>An anorectal micromanometric sleeve catheter is suitable for use in evaluating anorectal pressures in preterm and term neonates. Insufflation of air without the use of a balloon to elicit the AR is reliable and suitable for use in infants <34 weeks. Premature infants older than 30 weeks' postmenstrual age have normal anorectal pressures and a normal AR. | - |
