The sudden injury, illness, or death of a loved one leaves family members unprepared to deal with the stress of the situation. Hospital staff members should have the special knowledge and skills needed to support both the patient and his/her family. This article provides useful information for ensuring that the support process is healthy for all those involved.
An unexpected death is a traumatic event for everyone affected by it, especially family members. The manner in which a family is told that a death has occurred has a profound effect on their grief and bereavement process. The task of the health care professional working with these patients and their families is to assist their healing by being skilled in the "death-telling" process. This article focuses on the project that developed a teaching tool and videotape used to educate individuals about the proper way to inform families of the death of a loved one.
The relationship between gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) has been widely investigated. Reflux-induced apnoea is triggered through a vagal mechanism. During acute phases of sleep, the different means of protection of the upper respiratory tract are blunted, awakening reactions are cancelled or delayed and hypoxemia occurs rapidly. GER could play a leading part in SIDS occurring during this acute phase of sleep. Numerous studies are needed to further dismantle the link between SIDS and GER. In children with severe malaise, a systematic search for GER is mandatory.
