AUTONOMIC REGULATION IN NEWBORNS AND YOUNG CHILDREN (BRIEF LITERATURE REVIEW)

Abstract

The literature review presents data on autonomic regulation in newborns and young children and the negative impact on its functional characteristics in the system of autonomic homeostasis. It is shown that the features of autonomic regulation in children of the first year of life are a high level of dominance of sympathetic influences in the management of the systemic activity of the body, functional irregularity of activity in the antenatal period, undulating course of the adaptation process in the early postnatal period. The results of studies on the characteristics of autonomic regulation in children born after in vitro fertilization, with perinatal lesions of the central nervous system, from mothers with nicotine dependence, with a combination of hypoxic and toxic septic conditions in the intensive care unit, as well as in full term and premature babies with intrauterine development delay are presented. In the literature review, special attention is paid to the systematization of numerous disparate data relating to autonomic regulation in early childhood.
