- Title
Sudden Unexpected Postnatal Collapse: Review and Management.
- Authors
Ludington-Hoe, S. M.; Addison, C.
- Abstract
Sudden unexpected postnatal collapse (SUPC) of healthy newborns is a catastrophic event caused by cardiorespiratory collapse in a healthy newborn. The most common cause of SUPC is poor positioning of the newborn during skin-to-skin contact or breastfeeding when the newborn is not being observed by a health professional, attentive parent, or caretaker. Maternal/newborn health care professionals need to know about the essential information, definitions, incidence, risk factors, clinical presentation, outcomes, and prevention and management strategies to minimize the occurrence and impact of SUPC. A sample SUPC hospital policy is included in the manuscript.
