Autonomic nervous system function following prenatal opiate exposure

Autonomic nervous system function following prenatal opiate exposure

In utero exposure to opiates may affect autonomic functioning of the fetus and newborn. We investigated heart rate variability (HRV) as a measure of autonomic stability in prenatal opiate exposed neonates (n=14) and in control term infants (n=10). Electrocardiographic data during both non-nutritive...
