Educational Pearls:

    • cyanosis or pallor
    • absent, decreased, or irregular breathing
    • decreased or increased tone
    • altered responsiveness
  • These must be sudden, brief, and now resolved and without an alternative explanation after a history and physical exam
  • Low risk patients can be safely discharged with reassurance
  • Low risk criteria must all be present:
    • Age over 60 days old
    • >32 weeks gestational age at birth and adjusted gestational age > 45 weeks)
    • No CPR was performed (by a trained medical professional)
    • First event
    • Duration less than 1 minute of event
  • Patients who satisfy above criteria can be considered low risk and may be discharged after minimal/no workup
