A total of 305 infants presenting with apparent life-threatening events (ALE) were referred by their paediatricians and underwent 24-hour tape recordings of electrocardiogram and abdominal breathing movements (from a pressure capsule transducer). Seventy-seven of these infants, all full-term (≥ 37 weeks of gestation), were randomly selected, followed up for clinical outcome, and their recordings subjected to a detailed analysis of heart and respiratory rates and breathing patterns. Recordings on 157 age-matched, full-term controls were similarly analysed for comparison purposes. One of the 77 patients suffering from ALE had a pre-existing neurodevelopmental problem, and 4 more cases showed this at follow-up, including 1 case whose ALE was subsequently diagnosed as originating from non-accidental injury. Compared with controls and as a group, the patients suffering from ALE showed higher numbers of apnoeic pauses (p < 0.001), larger quantities of periodic breathing (p < 0.01) and lower respiratory rates during regular breathing (p < 0.01).

“…A similar instrument has been used previously with success as a bronchoscope in neonates.4 The scope has remote control two way angulation through 1200 at the tip and can be directed by the operator at the hand piece. (17) Images are relayed to a colour monitor by a small endoscopic camera (OTV-S2 Olympus) connected to the scope and a continuous recording made on to VHS videotape. The fine endoscope tip is introduced intranasally and advanced and directed until located at the site of interest.…”
