SIDS Advanced Earn While You Learn
On September 29 clients from Mobile & Saraland came out to the Saraland Chamber of Commerce to learn about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and how to lessen their risk factors.
Class was led by Veronica Hudson, Nurse Manager at USA Women's & Children's Hospital.
SIDS is the sudden death of an infant under one year of age which remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation, including performance of a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and review of the clinical history. (Willinger et al, 1991).
In a typical situation parents check on their supposedly sleeping infant to find him or her dead. This is the worst tragedy parents can face, a tragedy which leaves them with a sadness and a feeling of vulnerability that lasts throughout their lives. Since medicine can not tell them why their baby died, they blame themselves and often other innocent people. Their lives and those around them are changed forever.
