Yes, a higher risk of SIDS can be detected in two ways. First of all, they are examinations based on the physiological functions of the body during sleep, such as ECG, EEG, heart rate, respiratory system disorders, oxygen saturation or reflux. All these examinations can reveal any disorders or congenital diseases that could lead to sudden infant death syndrome. The second way doctors approach this syndrome is genetic, which consists in the genetic examination of parents, siblings and the child itself. The goal of such a medical examination is to detect any metabolic disorders leading to an increased risk of SIDS.
