    Author: Guilleminault C, Ariagno R, Coons S, Winkle R, Korobkin R, Baldwin R, Souquet M.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1985 Aug; 76(2):236-42. PubMed ID: 4022698.
    Abstract:
    Eight full-term infants between 3 and 8 weeks of age, who had had 24 to 48 hours of vague problems involving a congested upper airway and/or irritability, had a life-threatening respiratory episode at home, called a near-miss for sudden infant death syndrome event. Polygraphically monitored mixed apneas occurred in clusters during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep with significant cardiac arrhythmias, predominantly sinus arrest. The cardiorespiratory problems continued during sleep in the following 8 to 12 weeks but did not recur after that time, and there were no long-term sequelae when the children were studied again 4 to 7 years later.
