Consequently, the 6-month-old baby (who lives in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 8) was taken to the hospital by his parents in a state of cardiac apnea. Despite being actively assisted by doctors and nurses for 1 hour, the baby still did not survive.
Through the exploitation of information, it is known that around 4:00 am on the same day, the baby is sleeping next to the father and mother on the mattress close to the floor, the thickness of the mattress is 26cm, the baby cries for milk, causing both parents to wake up. .
After that, the baby was bottle-fed and went to sleep. However, at 7:00 am on the same day that he woke up, his father discovered that he was lying on his stomach, face down, and shoved his body into the gap between the mattress wall and the wall. At this time, the baby’s entire body was pale, without moving, so the family took him to the emergency of Children’s Hospital 1.
At the hospital, doctors said the baby may have died from dilated pupils, loss of light reflectance, relatively stiff muscle tone, and no oropharyngeal reflex.
However, the doctors managed to resuscitate, but the baby’s heart rate did not return.
In this case, Dr. Phuong recommends, parents should be careful when letting young children sleep together. Be careful about the gaps between the bed and the wall, even if they are small. Because young children can roll over, they can roll over completely and get trapped in that small space, causing a state of hypoxic brain suffocation that parents are completely unaware of.
As recommended by the American Pediatric Association (AAP), to keep children safe while they sleep, ABC principles should be followed.
A (alone): a child should not sleep with an adult because there is always a potential danger when sharing with an adult, the child may feel overwhelmed by the same adult and in fact there have been many cases I like this
B (Back): Babies should sleep on their back because tummy routines in some newborns and babies can prevent the baby from rolling over and choking.
C (Crib): Children should sleep in a crib with a sturdy crib, the space between the bars should not be too wide for parts of the child’s body to enter, and if possible, the crib should be placed next to the child’s bed. the parents for the father The mother quickly discovered abnormalities in the crib.
