The authors report two cases of sudden unexpected cardiorespiratory arrest occurring in a normal newborn nursery. They discuss the impact on the families and hospital personnel. The nursing and medical staff demonstrated many of the reactions experienced by families of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) victims, including shock, anger, guilt, disbelief, fear, and doubt. The manner in which hospital personnel were supported and counseled is discussed. Specific clinical implications of these cases, including the need to provide for appropriate monitoring and resuscitation in normal newborn nurseries, are presented.
