Background: The aim of this case report and the review of the literature is to demonstrate dangers when using peripherial silastic catheters in preterm and term newborns or infants.
Patient, Methods And Results: We report on a female infant with glycogenosis type I a (MIM 232200) due to glucose 6-phosphatase deficiency (homozygosity for R170X) and sudden infant death at the age of 9 months due to a rare catheter complication (hydropericardium with tamponade without perforation).
Conclusion: We believe that this fatal complication was caused by local osmotic dysbalance due to direct contacts between atrial wall and the catheter tip. There is no relation known between patients with inborn errors of metabolism complicated by metabolic derangement and higher incidences of mechanical or non-mechanical catheter complications.

Background: Sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) is a leading cause of death for US infants, and nonrecommended sleep practices are reported in most of these deaths. SUID rates have not declined over the past 20 years despite significant educational efforts. Integration of prenatal safe sleep and breastfeeding education into a pregnancy app may be one approach to engaging pregnant individuals in education about infant care practices prior to childbirth.

Ventilatory drive is modulated by a variety of neurochemical inputs that converge on spatially oriented clusters of cells within the brainstem. This regulation is required to maintain energy homeostasis and is essential to sustain life across all mammalian organisms. Therefore, the anatomical orientation of these cellular clusters during development must have a defined mechanistic basis with redundant genomic variants.
