Caffeine Therapy for Lung Development
Caffeine
is a type of drug categorized as methylxanthines. It reduces apnea, where it is
a condition in which a baby stops breathing for a series of seconds. Caffeine has been used in Neonatal Intensive
Care Units (NICU) for years as a breathing support treatment for babies. Based
on the results of the study, it has been suggested that caffeine therapy
improves long-term breathing functions by reducing abnormal development or
injury to the lungs of newborns.
