10 physiological and 16 pathological--mostly premature--newborn were investigated by means of cardiorespirography. For heart frequency records of physiological newborn the undulatory zone (by disturbance or waking) and the narrowed undulatory zone (by sleeping) were typical, while in pathological newborn the silent zone predominated. In physiological newborn the respiratory curves type I and type III were typical; in the pathological ones types II, IV und V were most frequent. No correlation was found between pathologocial findings on cardiorespirograms and the clinical diagnosis. Nevertheless, oscilatory types of curves correlate well with pH values of blood.
