78), or that particulate air pollutants might be a contributing factor in SIDS (Glinianaia, Svetlana V., Rankin, Judith, Bell, Ruth, Pless-Mulloui, Tanja, and Howel, Denise, 2004, p. 1365). However, data that would link either of these things as the specific cause of SIDS is still being researched, and remains inconclusive at this time. Much more study is needed to understand SIDS.
Sleep apnea has been the subject of recent research involving SIDS, and while all babies are prone to moments of pausing in their breathing, says, Dr. Robert G. Meny, Maryland's School of Medicine's Sudden Infant Death Institute, "The question is not if -- the question is how much, how often, and how long. I begin to worry especially when I see the pauses for more than 20 seconds (Stehlin, Doris, 1991, p. 16)." In cases where a parent notices prolonged and ongoing apnea, infant apnea monitors have proven successful in providing the notice to a parent that a child is in distress, and in helping parents get through that worrisome period when a child is age susceptible to SIDS.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The articles explore separate studies about the topic. The author of this work discusses various aspects of each article and their merit. There were two sources used to complete this paper. Each year in America thousands of parents walk into their infants room and discover that the child has died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The tragedy shocks and baffles the medical community as it continues
SIDS Counseling Treatment Plan Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: A Treatment Plan The unexpected death of an infant is a heartbreaking tragedy. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) refers to the sudden death of a child which occurs without any known cause. While there are some risk factors for SIDS, little is known about the disorder. Sudden infant death syndrome is the leading cause of infant mortality in the United States (McClain, Arnold, Longchamp,
In addition to sleeping the infant on his or her back, CBNR reports that steps must be taken to ensure that the child's respiration and circulation are not constricted in any way. CBNR indicates that "over bundling, and consequently overheating, has been shown to increase SIDS risk. Overheating may disrupt the normal neurological control of sleep and breathing." (p. 1) Research has also increasingly pointed to the surface and surroundings
For example, when mothers smoke during pregnancy they not only put toxins in their own bodies, but into the bodies of their babies as well. In addition to these toxins, the maternal smoking often deprives the babies of the oxygen that it needs, and this can result in abnormalities that can lead to SIDS. Metabolic disorders are also a consideration for babies that die of SIDS, although this has
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) The causes of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) still remain poorly understood. Although there has been a dramatic decrease in its incidence, it still remains a leading cause of infant death in babies older than 30 days and younger than a year (Carolan, 2015, p.1). SIDS occurs when a previously healthy infant goes to sleep and for no apparent reason dies before waking. One of the
Mainstream smoke is exhaled from a smoker. Some experts say that side-stream smoke can emit higher levels of toxins than mainstream smoke. In response to these new reports, the Environmental Protection Agency classified secondhand smoke as a carcinogen because of its harmful effects on the health of both adults and the children of smokers. In addition, a lot more about the harm of other substances in tobacco smoke remains
