Home and hospital monitoring for ALTE.
Apparent life-threatening events (ALTE) results from various causes. Documented monitoring of cardiorespiratory parameters and Hb-O(2) saturation by pulse oximetry (SpO(2)) has proven useful in the identification of significant events both in hospital and at home. Home monitoring might be especially helpful for infants with recurrent but infrequent clinical events not captured during a hospital admission.
