Home monitoring during infancy: what is normal?
This article reviews studies on infants to obtain 'normal' parameters for apnoea, heart rate and O(2) saturation in healthy full-term infants. Studies have been carried out in both hospital and home settings using different protocols and these are reviewed and assessed as a means of providing baseline data for home memory monitoring of infants.
