Apnea of prematurity is one of the most common diagnoses in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Frequent breathing pauses occur in almost all infants born at <28 weeks gestational age or with a birth weight of <1000g and can result in serious brain damage. Medicines are used to suppress the apnea but are not able to eliminate it. Manual tactile stimulation is currently used to terminate apneas that occur despite the preventative treatment. However, the duration of apnea is dependent on the reaction of the nurse. A direct automatic response could significantly shorten the apnea hence reducing hypoxia and bradycardia and reduce the chance of infection due to cross-contamination. In addition, detecting imminent apnea could potentially prevent it...
