The pseudo-life-threatening conditions in infants
https://doi.org/10.21508/1027-4065-2019-64-2-13-21
Abstract
The article analyzes the literature on the development of views on the definition, approaches to diagnostics and tactical measures in case of suddenly manifesting conditions in children of the first year of life, accompanied by respiratory failure, changes in muscle tone and skin color. The article contains data from the clinical guidelines of theAmericanAcademyof Pediatrics 2016. The above guidelines gave introduced a new term “brief resolved unexplained event” (BRUE) and distinguished two groups of infants – with low and high risk of unfavorable outcome. The article contains a definition of a “life-threatening event”, which refers to events in children of the first year of life who have experienced a rapidly resolved unexplained condition and met the criteria of low risk. The authors describe the approaches to the diagnosis and prevention of pseudo-life-threatening events in infants. The authors call the pediatric community to discuss and present their own view on the problem of definition and tactical measures necessary for identifying quickly resolved unexplained events in children of the first year of life who meet the criteria of low risk.
