Why the study?
What are the patterns of heart rate, arrhythmias, and apnoea in newborn infants during 24-hour ECG and respiration recording?
What are the patterns of heart rate, arrhythmias, and apnoea in newborn infants during 24-hour ECG and respiration recording?
Simultaneous 24-hour recording of ECG and respiration reveals that latent episodes of prolonged apnoea and bradycardia are common in newborns and may be related to sudden infant death syndrome or hypoxaemic brain damage.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Frequent apnoea and bradycardia in newborns warrant monitoring caution; leaves open SIDS association pending prospective studies.
Southall et al. (1980) studied this question.
