"It can be tough for different providers to work together efficiently when the stakes are high. We are building our simulation program to talk about this and make it better. Simulation training breaks up roles and staff hierarchies in a safe way, so teams function better when every moment counts."

SIDS

Research Description

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) claims the lives of 2,500 infants in the United States every year. Striking without warning and leaving scant clues about its cause, SIDS has defied all attempts to unlock its secret, casting a shadow of fear over every family with a newborn.

I am researching the finding of a hearing deficit from inner ear damage, noted at birth in SIDS infants with newborn hearing tests, and its potential relationship to the later mechanism of death.
