Rebreathing exhaled carbon dioxide trapped
near an infant's airway by bedding has been suggested as a possible mechanism for the occurrence of SIDS in at - risk infants and may occur with the use of soft bedding, covering the
head during sleep, and use of the prone sleep position.9 - 12 Inadequate ventilation might facilitate pooling of carbon dioxide around a sleeping infant's
mouth and nose and might increase the likelihood of rebreathing.13, 14 Increased movement of air in the room of a sleeping infant may potentially decrease the accumulation of carbon dioxide around the infant's nose and
mouth and reduce the risk of rebreathing.10 A recent study15 showing a significantly reduced risk of SIDS associated with pacifier use further supports the importance of rebreathing as a risk factor for SIDS.
