Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is one of the leading causes of death in infants (Hospital for Sick Children, 2016; Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, 2016). The first few years are crucial as many factors contribute to infants' healthy development and much of the critical growth period occurs during sleep. Newborns spend the majority of a day sleeping, up to 16 hours (Parmelee, Shulz, & Disbrow, 1961). Infants generally breathe irregularly with significant breath-to-breath variability and periodic breathing characterizing regular and apneic states (Alvaro & Rigatto, 2012). However, when an abnormal rhythm or apneic period arises, the situation becomes critical with a limited window of opportunity to save the life of a newborn (e.g., Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Bradycardia). An apneic state occurs when there is an absence of respirations for 20 seconds (Alvaro & Rigatto, 2012). The characterization of apnea can be divided into different states such as obstructive apnea, central apnea, and mixed apnea. Emerging literature in adults indicate a correlation between sleep apnea with increased risks of cardiovascular health problems (Wimms, Woehrle, Ketheeswaran, Ramanan, & Armitstead, 2016; Wu, Yuan, Wang, Sun, Liu, and Wei, 2016; Hao, Xiandao, Li, Jingwu, Jinghua, & Yongxiang, 2016). With the ultimate goal of early detection of changes in respiratory rates and patterns, improved methods of monitoring and detection along with sounding an alarm will allow for early intervention and potential prevention of death or critical illness.
