Neonatal emergencies have become more common as increasingly sophisticated Neonatal Intensive Care Units graduate lower birth-weight babies born at younger gestational ages. These patients present a number of challenges to emergency physicians. They are often discharged with apnea monitors, which generate a high number of false alarms. Neonatal Intensive Care Unit graduates, however, are predisposed to a number of conditions that can result in true episodes of apnea. We present such a case and will discuss the unusual underlying cause of apnea, the utility of apnea monitors, and the need for emergency physicians to be prepared to evaluate and treat these potentially complicated patients.
