Apnea Clinic
Sometimes a baby goes home from the hospital on a home apnea monitor. This monitor is used to measure the baby's heart and breathing rate.
If your baby has been ordered a home apnea monitor, you will be scheduled to for an apnea clinic visit 4-6 weeks after discharge. Your baby will be seen by one of the neonatologists or pediatric hospitalists and a nurse during this visit. This appointment is very important because it allows the doctor to know when it is safe to stop your baby's monitor. The Apnea Clinic nurse can be reached at 330-363-3475 for any questions you may have when you go home.
