• #11 Shaken Baby Syndrome Prevention | American SPCC – Definition, Signs, Symptoms & Effects

  https://americanspcc.org/shaken-baby-syndrome/

  Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) is preventable. The definition of shaken baby syndrome is quite simple; it is a severe form of physical child abuse resulting from violent shaking of an infant by the shoulders, arms, or legs. SBS may result from both shaking alone or from shaking with impact. […] Babies, newborn to one year (especially babies ages 2 to 4 months), are at greatest risk of injury from shaking. Shaking them violently can trigger a whiplash effect that can lead to internal injuries including bleeding in the brain or in the eyes. Often there are no obvious external physical signs, such as bruising or bleeding, to indicate an injury. […] The number one reason a child is shaken is because a parent or caregiver becomes so frustrated with a baby’s crying that they lose control and begin to shake them. They are usually average people, who in the heat of their frustration and anger lose control, and shake their child. Most people charged with shaking their baby have no previous history of violence, and the act is unintended. However, the effects of shaken baby syndrome can still be severe.

  https://www.nuhs.edu.sg/patient-care/find-a-condition/shaken-baby-syndrome

  Shaken Baby Syndrome refers to the type of traumatic brain injury inflicted on a baby when he or she is forcefully shaken and occurs for the following reasons. As a baby’s neck muscles are still not well developed and provides little support for their relatively large, heavy head, violent shaking causes the baby’s head to rotate uncontrollably. This causes the fragile brain to bounce back and forth within the skull resulting in rupturing of blood vessels and nerves throughout the brain and tearing of the brain tissue. The end result is bruising, swelling, bleeding of the brain and increased pressure within the skull which can lead to permanent, severe brain damage or death. […] Shaken Baby Syndrome is commoner than we think. In the United States alone, an estimated 1200 to 1400 cases of Shaken Baby Syndrome occur each year.

  Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) is the term used to describe the signs and symptoms resulting from a child being shaken. Shaking a baby is dangerous because: A baby’s head is large and heavy in proportion to the baby’s body. There is space between the brain and skull to allow for growth and development. The baby’s neck muscles are not yet developed. Violently shaking a baby or young child forces the head to whip back and forth, causing blood vessels in the brain and eyes to rip and bleed. In addition, this motion causes the brain to move and bounce against the skull which can cause brain damage. Shaking a baby can cause: blindness […] broken bones […] cerebral palsy […] death […] hearing loss […] intellectual/developmental disabilities […] paralysis […] seizures […] speech or learning difficulties.

  Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) is the term used to describe the signs and symptoms resulting from a child being shaken. Shaking a baby is dangerous because: A baby’s head is large and heavy in proportion to the baby’s body. There is space between the brain and skull to allow for growth and development. The baby’s neck muscles are not yet developed. Violently shaking a baby or young child forces the head to whip back and forth, causing blood vessels in the brain and eyes to rip and bleed. In addition, this motion causes the brain to move and bounce against the skull which can cause brain damage. Shaking a baby can cause: blindness […] broken bones […] cerebral palsy […] death […] hearing loss […] intellectual/developmental disabilities […] paralysis […] seizures […] speech or learning difficulties. The Act requires hospitals to: provide parents educational materials on SBS free of charge […] present parents with a voluntary commitment statement indicating that they have received the educational materials.
