Customer Review: THIS MONITOR IS A MUST FOR ANYONE WITH A CHILD UNDER ONE
Summary: 5 Stars
As a neonatal intensive care (NICU) nurse, I am acutely aware of the risks of a baby having apnea (stopping breathing). As a mom, I have nightmares about SIDS, suffocation, and the like. I found this monitor when I was pregnant with my first child, and used it every day until she was one (the period during which infants are at the highest risk of SIDS). I never had a false alarm, and it gave me complete peace of mind when I slept at night.
I used the monitor again with the birth of my second child, 19 months later. The alarm went off three times in a ten minute period one night, and during one alarm, I had to vigorously shake my daughter to get her to take a breath. (The other two alarms were loud enough to wake her up and stimulate her to take a breath.) I went to the doctor the next day, and was told that these types of monitors don't do anything, they result in false alarms due to the sensitivity settings, etc. Had it not been for the fact that I was a NICU nurse and had to actually stimulate my child to breath, I don't think the doctors would have done anything. But, because I was, and I did, they sent us to the hospital where my daughter stayed on a apnea monitor for 24 hours. That monitor recorded two more apneic events, and she was sent home on a home apnea monitor. She had two or three more events from home, but eventually outgrew the events. (She had been premature at birth, and they ultimately diagnosed her with apnea of prematurity.) Had it not been for the Angelcare monitor, we may have never detected this, and God only knows what the outcome would have been. So, I cannot recommend this monitor more highly.
I do note that what I learned from this was that apnea and SIDS are not the same -- stated differently, it is believed (although not confirmed) that children die from SIDS because they have a decreased heart rate and lack of oxygenation. It is believed that this lack of oxygenation, or hypoxia, is not due to lack of breathing, or apnea, but rather the apnea is the final trigger in the chain of events. By the time the child stops breathing, it may be impossible to resuscitate him or her. This monitor alarms for apnea, which may be caused by apnea of prematurity, or any other number of things. But, most likely, based on the research that I did after this whole ordeal, it will not prevent SIDS. Even hospital-grade home apnea monitors cannot prevent SIDS. But, the Angelcare monitor does, nonetheless give me peace of mind that I know my child is breathing. That makes this monitor worth every penny, in my opinion. One day, hopefully, they will invent a monitor that monitors both movement and oxygenation to aid in the detection and prevention of SIDS.
