Having a fan in the room where an infant is sleeping may help decrease the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, according to research published today. SIDS deaths have fallen almost 65% from 1992 to 2003 as research has yielded clues on what causes the tragic deaths of seemingly healthy newborns. One of the best prevention measures, studies have shown, is placing babies on their backs to sleep. But SIDS cases still occur, and so have efforts to understand how to prevent them. The study today in the Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine analyzed interviews of mothers from 185 infants who died from SIDS and the mothers of 312 infants who were randomly selected as comparisons. The babies who died from SIDS were more likely to have been placed on their stomachs or sides to sleep, did not use a pacifier, were found with bedding or clothing covering their heads, slept on a soft surface or shared a bed with someone other than a parent -- all known risk factors for SIDS. But the study also found that having a fan on during sleep was associated with a 72% decreased risk in SIDS compared to sleeping in a room without a fan. Fan use in warmer rooms (above 69 degrees Fahrenheit) was associated with a 94% decreased risk of SIDS compared with no fan use. Fan use also decreased the risk of SIDS in infants who slept on their stomachs or sides. Use of a fan may prevent infants from re-breathing exhaled air, which contains carbon dioxide, o ...

Could it be this simple? Moving air, like from a fan, is all you need to prevent SIDS? When your humble correspondent first started practicing (and I won't give away my mid-40's age) it was almost considered child abuse to let your children sleep on their backs. That was then! A "revolution" (at least to my memory) began after an Aussie study suggested infants sleeping on their backs had a significantly reduced incidence of SIDS. The fear of a child choking and their inability to clear their throats (while lying on their backs) because of their immature cough reflex, had long been thought to be a causative factor. It is now known that sleeping on the stomach and soft bedding, both of which may limit air ventilation around an infant's breathing pathway, can increase the chance of re-breathing exhaled carbon dioxide. From Kaiser Permanente 's Division of Research: Funded by the National Institutes of Health, this latest study looked at 185 babies who died from SIDS in 10 Northern California counties and Los Angeles County from 1997 to 2000. They were compared to 312 infants of a similar age and from similar socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds in the same counties. Researchers identified SIDS cases through records from the California Department of Health Services and the Los Angeles County coroner's office and interviewed participating mothers by trained interviewers in English and Spanish with an average of 3.8 months after the ba ...
