This is not the case, every child has a chance of dying from SUID, but it is true that some races have a higher possibility.

During my research for this paper, I determined that there is a high infant mortality rate among African-American women in the United States. According to a National Vital Statistics Report, United States is ranked the highest among all countries in the world for infant mortality rate (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2014). Statistics have also shown that infant mortality rate is the highest among African-Americans both statewide and nationwide and also including Franklin…

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) refers to the unforeseen and sudden death of a infant who is less than year with the autopsy, review of clinical history and death scene investigation failing to indicate any reasonable cause of death. Toddlers are often at the highest risk of SIDS when sleeping, and SIDS is sometimes known as cot or crib death (Hunt, 2007). The underlying cause of SIDS is a mystery although research has identified a number of characteristics and trends linked to the syndrome.…

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is a sudden death that is unexplainable in infant children ranging from 1 month to 1 years old. A thorough investigation is conducted, including a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and a review of the clinical history. It is often called by its other name “Crib Death”, mainly because the child is found in their crib at the time of death, although there are cases where the deceased child is found in other places. SIDS is the leading cause of death in…

Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) is the sudden unforeseen death of an infant without a clear cause, which remains unexplained until the cause of death is thoroughly investigated (AAP Task Force on SIDS, 2016). Investigations for the cause of sudden infant deaths can be done by fully reviewing the infant’s clinical history, by a complete autopsy or an examination of the death scene (Athanasakis, Karavasiliadou & Styliadis, 2011). SUID is a leading cause of infant mortality in the United…

Bears and Coins:The Iconography of Protection in Late Roman Infant Burials, written by Nina Crummy analyzes the sites of a small group of infant burials found within Britain. These date to early c.e., during the Roman rule of the region. While the actual archaeological evidence found within these graves is interesting enough, it is in Crummy’s analysis of the items that is of greater significance. Using these uncovered items, Crummy creates two groups to examine, and her theories regarding how…

Some of these interventions include placing the infant on their backs while they sleep, removing objects from the sleeping area, parental avoidance…

Introduction The most common cause of death in infants up to a year old is sudden infant death syndrome (Meadows-Oliver & Hendrie, 2013). Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the unexpected death of an infant from one month to twelve months of age that cannot be explained even after a thorough investigation (Schnitzer, Covington & Dykstra, 2012). Although the death cannot always be explained, most SIDS cases are believed to be a result of accidental suffocation. Common causes include…
