📋Overview
Infantile sleep apnea is a term historically used to describe pauses in breathing during sleep in infants. The modern preferred term is 'infant sleep-disordered breathing,' which includes obstructive and central sleep apnea. It involves episodes where breathing stops or is reduced during sleep, potentially leading to oxygen desaturation and disrupted sleep patterns.
