Definition of SIDS
• Sudden and unexpected death of an
infant for which sufficient cause
cannot be found by a death scene
investigation, review of the history,
and a postmortem
• 1week-1 year old (2-4 months < 6months)
• ALTE (Apparent life-threatening
event)
– Color change
– Hypotonia
– 70% found in the morning…..
Risk Factors
• Lending for intervention
– Prone positioning
– Maternal smoking
– Bottle-feeding vs Breast feeding????
Normal Control of Heart
Rate and Breathing
• Breathing
– Brainstem
• Heart rate
– Autonomic nervous system
SIDS
• Etiology:
• Brainstem: controls breathing (Prematurity?)
• Central Apnea & periodic breathing
• Tests for assessing risk factors
– NO test that predicts risk for SIDS
– Polysomnography/ pneumogram
– Frequency of apnea
Polysomnography
