Primary Outcome Measures:
- Success rates for controlling of apnea episode in each observation day (at least 50% reduction of apnea episodes from baseline) [ Time Frame: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7, 8, 9 and 10 day ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- The change of frequency of apnea episode from baseline in each observation day [ Time Frame: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 day ]
- Time to event：Days until next events occurred [ Time Frame: 1 to 10 day ]
Time to event：Days until next events occurred.
The definition of events are, Not at least 50% reduction of apnea episode Not improving the frequency of episode from baseline Needs mechanical/bag valve mask ventilation.
- The change of average duration time of apnea episode from baseline in each observation day [ Time Frame: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 day ]
- The change of lowest oxygen saturation during apnea episodes from baseline in each observation day [ Time Frame: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 day ]
- The proportion of less than 85% oxygen saturation during apnea episodes in each observation day [ Time Frame: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 day ]
