Abstract

Background/Purpose: Infants born prematurely and low birth weight (LBW, <2.5kg) are at increased risk of hypoxic and bradycardic events when placed in their car safety seats. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) therefore recommends a period of observation in the car seat prior to discharge to monitor for unstable cardiorespiratory status in this semi-upright position, known as the Car Seat Tolerance Screen (CSTS). Over 500,000 infants qualify annually, and although there are growing data on incidence of failure, minimal data are available to guide follow-up after failed CSTS. One suggestion by the …
