Define apnea of prematurity??

Apnea of prematurity is a condition in which premature infants experience pauses in breathing that last for more than 20 seconds. This is often due to the immaturity of the baby's respiratory system and central nervous system. It is a common issue in premature infants and can lead to complications if not properly managed. Treatment may include medications, respiratory support, and monitoring of the baby's breathing patterns.
