Abstract

Legal Medicine Life Sciences & Biomedicine Medicine, Legal Pathology Science & Technology
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.
