Zusammenfassung

Die wirksamste Prävention des plötzlichen Kindstodes besteht in der Propagierung der Rückenlage als Schlafposition von Geburt an. Die Seitenlage ist zwar sicherer als die Bauchlage, aber unsicherer als die Rückenlage. Zusätzliche Sicherheit wird durch eine Optimierung der Schlafbedingungen hinsichtlich der Vermeidung von Überdeckung und Überwärmung gewonnen. Optimal scheint die Verwendung eines Schlafsacks zu sein. Die Identifizierung von Risikosäuglingen hilft, die Präventionsbemühungen zu fokussieren. Die Indikation zum Heimmonitoring sollte nach individueller Einschätzung des Risikos und der Durchführbarkeit gestellt werden.

Abstract

Recommending the supine sleeping position is the most effective measure to prevent sudden infant death syndrome. The lateral sleeping position is less beneficial than the supine position. Additional safety can be achieved by optimizing the sleeping environment to avoid the risk of suffocation and overheating. The use of a sleeping bag seems to be the best solution. Prevention can be focussed on identifying infants at higher risk. Home monitoring might be beneficial in selected cases.
