SIDS has no symptoms or warning signs. Babies who die of SIDS seem healthy before being put to bed. They show no signs of struggle and are often found in the same position as when they were placed in the bed.While the cause of SIDS is unknown, many clinicians and researchers believe that SIDS is associated with problems in the ability of the baby to arouse from sleep, to detect low levels of oxygen or a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood. When babies sleep face down, they may re-breathe exhaled carbon dioxide.In a study of EMS calls related to SIDS deaths in Orange and Los Angeles counties, Calif., researchers found there were 113 cases ofSIDS, and they had adequate data for 110 of these cases. They found the survival rate forSIDS was 0%No, we cannot completely prevent SIDS, nordo we totally understand why some babies are more vulnerable than others (it's thought that certain brain abnormalities linked to breathing and sleep arousal may play a role). But anyone who cares for a baby can absolutely take a few easy steps to help lower that baby's risk.If a baby is breathing stale air and not getting enough oxygen, the brain usually triggers thebaby to wake up and cry to get more oxygen.
