Prevention of sudden death in sleep
1Department of Neurology, SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, NY, USA.
Abstract:
Sudden death in sleep, particularly in the young, is a tragic occurrence that conjures thoughts of wrongdoing and foul play. Despite activation of powerful arousal mechanisms when a threat occurs, massive lesions, sudden insurmountable dysfunctions, or profound toxicities may lead to death. Sudden death in sleep is not always inexplicable or unavoidable, which opens a window of opportunity for its prevention. This review explores predisposing conditions and suspected risk factors of sudden death in sleep with a focus on prevention and management.
