ER nurse chat could save babies from sleep death
NCT ID NCT07237360
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a short, personalized talk with an advanced practice nurse in the pediatric emergency room can help parents of infants (0-6 months) follow safe sleeping guidelines. Researchers will compare how many babies are placed safely on their backs before and after the interview. The goal is to reduce the risk of sudden unexpected infant death, which still claims hundreds of lives each year in France.
