    Snippet: Since the 1970s, many investigators have focused on episodes occurring in infants characterized by an acute and unexpected change in behavior either with or without apnea. These episodes were referred to as "near-misses" for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) (1), and considered a possible cause of SIDS. In 1986, the National Institutes of Health consensus conference named these episodes apparent life-threatening events (ALTE) and defined them u.....
    Document: Since the 1970s, many investigators have focused on episodes occurring in infants characterized by an acute and unexpected change in behavior either with or without apnea. These episodes were referred to as "near-misses" for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) (1), and considered a possible cause of SIDS. In 1986, the National Institutes of Health consensus conference named these episodes apparent life-threatening events (ALTE) and defined them using the following criteria: some combination of central or obstructive apnea; color change; marked change in muscle tone; and choking or gagging (2) . It is a frightening event, occurring predominantly in infancy and accounting for 0.6%-1.7% of all emergency department (ED) visits for infants younger than 1 yr of age and 0.5%-6% of all infant visits (3) (4) (5) (6) . It is associated with a 0%-6% mortality rate (2) .
