Moon R, ed. 2013. Sleep: What every parent needs to know (2nd ed.). Elk Grove Village, IL: American Academy of Pediatrics, 219 pp.

Annotation: This book covers the importance of sleep to growth and development and addresses proper sleep and the challenges parents face in getting their children to sleep. Topics include ages, stages, and phases for all ages of children; bedtime routines and rituals; dealing with fears, nightmares, night terrors, sleep apnea; allergies and asthma; headaches, leg pains, seizures, abdominal or gastrointestinal issues, in addition to developmental disabilities or attention deficit/hyperactivity disorders. Sleep safety and risk factors for sudden infant death are also discussed.

Steinschneider A. 1992. Identification of Risk for SIDS: Subsequent Siblings [Final report]. Atlanta, GA: American SIDS Institute, 49 pp.

Annotation: The primary objective of this research was to evaluate in subsequent siblings the effectiveness of neonatal measures of respiratory instability obtained during feeding and sleep, as well as measures of passive muscle tone, in identifying infants who are at risk for prolonged apnea (no respiratory activity for more than 18 seconds) or bradycardia (sudden drop in heart rate to below 80 bpm for 5 beats or more). Findings indicated a link between results obtained in the physiological studies and the subsequent development of prolonged apnea. The findings also added to the growing body of information which suggests that infants at risk for prolonged apnea and SIDS are abnormal at birth. The study found that physiological observations were contrary to the parental reports. This observation supported the hypothesis that physiological monitoring of feeding and sleep, and the assessment of muscle tone, under carefully controlled conditions may provide valid criteria for the early identification of subsequent siblings who would benefit from home monitoring.

Pierce P. 1988 (ca.). Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care: Medical day care, a cost effective alternative for families of medically dependent children--Final report. Gainesville, FL: Family Health and Habilitative Services, Inc., 143 pp.

Annotation: This project addressed the complex service needs of children who require sophisticated technological interventions and an environment which fosters developmental progress. Activities included: providing medical services to children; establishing a licensure category for Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) centers; disseminating information on the project through monographs, workshops, conferences, and publications; providing ongoing staff training and family support and educational services; establishing third-party reimbursement policies which will make the center financially self-supporting; and conducting a cost-effectiveness evaluation comparing the PPEC centers to other forms of care.

Ross conference on Pediatric Research (71st: 1975: North Andover, MA). 1977. Apnea of prematurity. Columbus, OH: Ross Laboratories, 95 pp. (Report of the Seventy-first Ross Conference on Pediatric Research)

Annotation: This conference reports examines three technological advances in apnea. These are fetal respiration monitoring, continuous recording of neonatal respiration monitoring, and the ability to measure oxygen transcultaneously. The knowledge gained from these techniques is evaluated in an effort to better define apnea of prematurity. The traditional presently available therapies for apnea in relation to their advantages and disadvantages and the treatment of apnea with xanthines is also discussed.
