Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
![Page 2: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
SIDS - Definition• Sudden death of an infant ( < 12 months)
• Death unexplained after a thorough investigation
- review of history - complete autopsy - death scene examination
![Page 3: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
SIDS• Accounts for 0.6 deaths per 1000 live births in Western
countries
• Single most common cause of death in the post neonatal period (35%-55%)• 2/3 of SIDS death occur in infants aged 2-4 months
• 90% of deaths occur in children <8 months
• Few deaths occur in children < 1 month and > 8 months

Triple Risk Model
![Page 5: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Critical Development Period• Unique age of occurrence: peak between 2-4 months
• Doubling of the brain weight
• Rapid changes that occur for functional integration of brain stem regions that subserve cardiorespiratory control
• Dramatic developmental changes in sleep state organization, arousal, cardiorespiratory control and metabolism
![Page 6: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Vulnerable Infant• Abnormal homeostatic control during sleep• Altered ventilator drive• Altered autonomic control• Neurotransmitter and functional nerve cell
abnormalities• Arcuate nucleus deficiencies• Prematurity
![Page 7: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Ex0genous Stressors• Infection• Child rearing practices – lower rates of pacifier use• Prone position of the baby• Over bundling and changes in ambient temperature• Tobacco smoke exposure
![Page 8: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Prone Position• Higher risk for SIDS• Mechanisms - increased sleep duration - increased quiet sleep - fewer short arousals - rebreathing exhaled CO2 - upper airway obstruction - overheating due to decreased body heat dissipation
![Page 9: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Apparent Life –Threatening Event ( ALTE)
• An episode that is frightening to the observer
• Characterized by some combination of apnea, color change, change in muscle tone, choking or gagging

Recommended Evaluation for ALTE• Admission and observation with CR monitoring
• History, physical and neurological examination
• CBC , electrolytes, calcium, CXR, ECG, EEG
![Page 13: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Evaluation of ALTE in selected cases• Sepsis work up• Barium swallow• Esophageal ph study• US/CT of Brain• Echocardiogram• Blood ammonia and urine amino acids• Polysomnogram
![Page 14: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Indications for Home Cardiopulmonary Monitoring• 3 decades of monitor use did not prevent SIDS
• Significant ALTE for which no cause was found
• Twin of SIDS
• Multichannel documentation of clinically significant apnea

Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS)• Failure of autonomic control of breathing
• Rare disorder – 1 per 200,000 live births
• Disordered ventilation control may range in severity - hypoventilation during sleep with adequate ventilation during wakefulness - severe cases: hypoventilation during both sleep and wakefulness
![Page 17: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
CCHS• Minute ventilation is reduced during sleep due to reduction in
tidal volume with relatively well preserved breathing frequency.• Hypoventilation is worse during NREM sleep ( chemical control
of breathing).• Decreased or absent ventilator chemo sensitivity in response
to hypoxia and hypercapnia during wakefulness and sleep.• Thus children cannot generate signs of respiratory distress.• Hypercapnic arousal (exogenous) responses appear intact.• Abnormality is located in the area of brain stem responsible for
integration of chemoreceptor signals.
![Page 18: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Clinical Features - Respiratory• Age – typically new born period, also child and
adulthood.
• Lack of perception of asphyxia during wakefulness with or without exertion
• Absence of primary lung, cardiac or neuromuscular disease or brain stem lesion.
![Page 19: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Clinical Features – Non respiratory• Autonomic nervous system dysfunction - Anatomic Hirschsprung’s disease ( 20% of CCHS) Tumors of neural crest origin ( neuroblastoma) - Physiological symptoms Decreased pupillary response, esophageal dysmotility, breath holding spells, temperature instability, abnormal heart rate variability and cardiac asystoles
![Page 20: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Disease Presentation and Clinical Course• Majority symptomatic during the newborn period.
• Fail to initiate respiratory effort requiring assisted ventilation from birth.
• Late onset beyond neonatal period – can present with episodes of severe apnea, apparent life-threatening event or problems in recovery from sedation and anesthesia.
![Page 21: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Assisted Ventilation• Tracheostomy - Positive pressure ventilation via tracheostomy
• Noninvasive - nasal or face mask interface - bilevel positive pressure support in a spontaneous timed mode with back up rate
• Negative pressure ventilators• Diaphragmatic pacing
![Page 22: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Positive Pressure Ventilation via Tracheostomy• Most common method used for children needing 24
hour ventilator y support.
• Ventilation can be accomplished via portable home ventilators in volume control/pressure control mode.
• Nocturnal hyperventilation with end tidal CO2 values in the 30-35 mg range can lead to improvement in day time ventilation.
![Page 23: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Noninvasive Ventilation• Increasingly used, well tolerated even in younger
children.
• Effective mode of ventilation for children who need only night time support.
• Bilevel ventilation – difference in IPAP and EPAP generates adequate tidal volume
• Back up rate is dialed in to assure minute ventilation
![Page 24: Frankie Roman M.D. J.D. Unity Health Network Focus Conference May 16, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681660e550346895dd94f66/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Summary of CCHS• Hallmark of CCHS is absent ventilatory response to CO2 and
O2.• Exclusion diagnosis – need to rule out primary lung disease,
ventilatory muscle weakness, gross anatomic brain or brain stem lesions and inborn errors of metabolism.• Can present in later infancy, child and adulthood.• Majority of the affected patients require lifelong ventilatory
support.• 95% of cases identified by PHOX2• If negative, additional screening PHOX2B sequencing test
identifies subset of non- polyalanine repeat mutations (NPARM)
