Abstract

We report the case of an infant found dead in bed with an adult while attached to a respiratory monitor sensor. We experimentally re-created a bed-sharing situation with an infant mannequin to demonstrate that a Graseby home apnea monitor continues to sense adult breathing and movement in the absence of infant breathing when used in this sleep situation.
