Accidental suffocation a leading cause of death among infants, data suggest
The AP (4/22, Tanner) reports that “accidental suffocation is a leading cause of injury deaths in U.S. infants and common scenarios involve blankets, bed-sharing with parents and other unsafe sleep practices, an analysis of government data” published in Pediatrics found. The authors of the analysis “studied 2011-2014 data from a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention registry of deaths in 10 states.” Out of “250 suffocation deaths, roughly 70 percent involved blankets, pillows or other soft bedding that blocked infants’ airways,” and “half of these soft bedding-related deaths occurred in an adult bed where most babies were sleeping on their stomachs.” The AP adds that “for years, the U.S. government and the American Academy of Pediatrics have waged safe-sleep campaigns aimed at preventing accidental infant suffocations and strangulations and sudden infant death syndrome.”
