During a scene assessment for SIDS, which area should you NOT focus on?

In the context of assessing a scene for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), the focus should primarily be on factors that could explain the situation and the child's environment. While all elements of the scene can provide important information, the temperature of the room is less critical in this specific scenario when compared to the other aspects.

Assessing the appearance of the child is essential, as it can provide clues about the child's condition prior to the event. Observing the presence of adults can help determine if there were caregivers or other individuals nearby who may have context regarding the situation. Furthermore, checking for hazards in the surroundings is vital to ensure the safety of other children or to identify any potential risks that could have contributed to the incident.

On the other hand, the room temperature, while it may give some indications about the comfort of the child, does not directly contribute to understanding the acute circumstances leading to a SIDS event. Therefore, it is considered less relevant during the prioritization of assessments in these situations.
