Home Monitoring of Infant at Risk for Apnea

Lawrence R. Berger MD1

1 University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98185

Home monitoring of infants at risk for severe apnea involves considerations of monitor technology, patient selection, family dynamics, and medical support. The commentaries by Drs Nelson, Stark, et al, and Lucey of the article by Kelly, Shannon, and O'Connell (Pediatrics 61:511-514, 1978) all focus on the issues of monitor fallibility and limitations in predictive testing of at-riskness. Kelly et al state that "our experience indicates that supervision of home monitoring should include 24-hour availability of medical, technical, and counseling assistance."
