Research Abstract	With anesthetized rabbit, we studied in sleeping environment associated with rebreathing hypothesis of sudden infant death. We didn't only confirmed rebreathing with certain sleeping environment, but also obtain the data with quantitative reproductibility, which we think enables to establish non-biological assessment method, the final goal.
