[Home monitoring of infants: a literature review (1972-1987)].
In the Netherlands home-monitoring of infants has been used since 1978, although not as widely as in other countries. For years it has been discussed whether a cardio-respiratory monitor can prevent SIDS. Controversies still exist about the criteria for home-monitoring and the reliability of the device. In this article, the history of debates on home-monitoring since 1972 is reviewed as well as current opinions and controversies.
