Apneas during sleep in infants: possible relationship with sudden infant death syndrome

C Guilleminault, R Peraita, M Souquet, and WC Dement

Several types of apnea are described in premature infants and in infants who have survived breathing-stoppage episodes which may be related to the sudden infant death syndrome. Upper airway apnea appears to induce the greatest changes: oxygen desaturation is more pronounced than in a central apnea of similar duration, and secondary cardiac changes are observed earlier and are more severe.
