Figure 4. PB prior to episodes of septicemia and NEC.

Figure 4

In each case of late-onset septicemia (A) or necrotizing enterocolitis (B) in which infants were not on mechanical ventilation and chest impedance data were available, % time in PB is shown in the 24-48h period prior to diagnosis (small black dot) and the 0-24h period prior to diagnosis (large red dot). Arrows indicate the magnitude and direction of change. In 29% of septicemia cases and 48% of NEC cases there was a >2-fold increase in %PB in the day prior to diagnosis compared to the prior day's baseline.
