Apnea of infancy and childhood. 1984

L L Fan

Apnea of infancy and obstructive sleep apnea in older children are being more widely recognized as potential causes of morbidity and mortality in children. Much controversy exists surrounding the relationship of apnea of infancy to SIDS and the treatment of apnea in infancy, particularly home monitoring. Obstructive sleep apnea in older children is somewhat better defined, and therapy is generally more definitive.
