Apparent Life Threatening Events in Infants

NCT02779062 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 22

Last updated 2019-02-06

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Infants sometimes experience sudden symptoms such as breathing irregularities or limpness that frighten parents and prompt them to seek emergency medical care. While few of these episodes are truly life-threatening and require hospital admission, some parents may have been so frightened that they will resist returning home from the emergency department with their baby even if the objective risk is extremely small. Study subjects (parents of infants with an apparent life threatening event) will be contacted and interviewed. Investigators want to learn whether or not study subjects would accept returning home after a brief period of observation in the emergency department if the physician determines that it is safe to do so.
