    Abstract:
    The SIDS problem is an important medicosocial question therefore it is necessary to identify the high risk infants in order to try to avoid it. We discuss our two years experience in a Home Apnea Monitoring Program. This article includes the first 25 children on home monitoring: 13 infants. 4 preterms and 8 SIDS siblings. We explain the apnea presentation form, the differential diagnosis methods and the diagnosis protocol for the different high risk groups. We speak about the different information obtained through the Pneumocardiogram (PNG), pH metric, the polysomnogram (PSG).... and the indications for Home Apnea Monitoring and the family role in this program. At the end we indicate that it is necessary to have more information and investigation about SIDS in our country.
