We review the evidence than overheating or disordered thermoregulation may be responsible for some cases of the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Possible mechanisms for an interaction of thermal stress and the prone position are discussed with an emphasis on heat production and loss via the infant head. After the reduction in the prevalence of the prone position following "Back to Sleep" campaigns, and the emergence of cigarette smoking as a key risk factor, the role of disordered thermoregulation continues to be important in many cases of SIDS.
我们回顾了相关证据，即过热或体温调节紊乱可能是某些婴儿猝死综合征（SIDS）病例的病因。本文讨论了热应激与俯卧位相互作用的可能机制，重点关注婴儿头部的产热和散热情况。在“仰睡”运动后俯卧位患病率降低，以及吸烟成为关键风险因素出现后，体温调节紊乱在许多SIDS病例中仍然起着重要作用。
