Study Guide: Pediatric Trauma and Emergency Management
1. What distinguishes Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)/Sudden unexpected infant
death (SUID)/Sudden unexpected early neonatal death (SUEND) for other deaths in
early life and what methods of prevention can you teach families in regard to SIDS?
SIDS: The sudden, unexplained death of an otherwise healthy baby, usually during sleep, and
typically within the first year of life.
SUID: A broader category that includes SIDS, accidental suffocation in a sleeping environment,
and other deaths from unknown causes.
SUEND: Refers to unexpected deaths occurring in the early neonatal period (first week of life),
often without a clear cause.
To reduce the risk of SIDS, families can follow these guidelines:
Alone: babies should sleep alone
Back to Sleep: Always place babies on their backs to sleep, for naps and at night.
Firm Sleep Surface: Use a firm mattress with a fitted sheet. Avoid soft bedding, pillows, and toys
in the crib
Crib: babies should sleep in crip
Room Sharing Without Bed Sharing: Keep the baby’s sleep area in the same room where you
sleep but on a separate surface, like a crib or bassinet
Avoid Overheating: Dress the baby in light sleep clothing and keep the room at a comfortable
temperature.
Pacifier Use: Offering a pacifier at nap time and bedtime can reduce the risk of SIDS
No Smoking: Avoid exposure to tobacco smoke during pregnancy and after birth.
Regular Prenatal Care: Ensuring good prenatal care can reduce the risk of SIDS5
