Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) refers specifically to the sudden and unexplained death of an infant, typically during sleep, and it is not a condition from which individuals survive. Therefore, by definition, there are no individuals diagnosed with SIDS that have survived, as SIDS results in the death of the infant. However, it's important to note that many infants may experience near misses or other sleep-related incidents that do not result in death.

If the infant begins to breathe normally, monitor their breathing closely and ensure they are in a safe position. Stay with the infant and be prepared to provide assistance if their breathing changes or if any other emergency signs appear.

Hearing impairment can be determined in an infant by doing early screening and diagnosis after birth. Screening can be done with 1 or 2 tests. Both measure how a baby respond to sound and it takes 5 - 10 min and is also painless. Hearing impairment can only be diagnosed by specialist.
The best vagal maneuver for an infant is gentle stimulation of the infant’s face, particularly by rubbing the forehead or applying gentle pressure to the eyes. This can help to stimulate the vagus nerve and potentially alleviate issues like bradycardia or certain types of arrhythmias. Additionally, the “diving reflex” can be triggered by immersing the infant's face in water for a brief moment, but this should only be done under professional supervision. Always consult a healthcare provider for guidance in managing an infant's medical concerns.
