    • Abstract This study explored the feasibility effect and safety of the limb stimulation (LS) for the treatment of neonatal apnea (NAP). The cases of 30 eligible premature infants with NAP were included in this retrospective study. These cases were equally divided into an intervention group (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15). The infants in both groups received caffeine treatment. Moreover, cases in the intervention group also received LS for a total 30 hours, while the subjects in the control… CONTINUE READING
