SIDS is not the same as apnea. Many people have apnea and apnea
has killed infants. Infants with apnea can be resuscitated. An
apnea monitor (AKA cot monitor) can detect when a SIDS victim stops
breathing � but remember, a SIDS victim is already dead when that
happens.
Note: Infants with apnea usually are placed on apnea monitors
for apnea, not to prevent the unpreventable. And many SIDS parents
do use apnea monitors on subsequent children � this has mainly a
placebo effect on the parents.
No, they are not. You can revive a baby that has apnea if it is
not too late. A SIDS baby you can't revive. SIDS is undetectable
and you never know when it will hit. With apnea a baby can stop
breathing and start again. SIDS is totally different.
