Part 1 of the series: Neonatal Vascular Access: A Practical Guide to PICCs and Midlines Introduction Neonatal vascular access decisions are rarely straightforward. Clinicians must balance therapy requirements, anticipated treatment duration, vessel health and future...
Part 2 of the series: Neonatal Vascular Access: A Practical Guide to PICCs and Midlines Introduction For neonatal patients, veins are a finite resource. Every cannulation attempt, device replacement and vascular access procedure has the potential to affect future...
Part 3 of the series: Neonatal Vascular Access: A Practical Guide to PICCs and Midlines Introduction Every vascular access attempt matters. Failed insertion attempts may contribute to procedural delays, vessel trauma, increased workload and reduced future access...
Part 4 of the series: Neonatal Vascular Access: A Practical Guide to PICCs and Midlines Introduction The successful insertion of a PICC or Midline is a significant achievement in neonatal vascular access, but long-term success depends on what happens next. Maintenance...
Part 7 of the series: Neonatal Vascular Access: A Practical Guide to PICCs and Midlines Introduction Neonatal vascular access is often viewed through the lens of individual devices, procedures and complications. However, the highest-performing neonatal units typically...
Helping Neonatal Teams Assess Their Preparedness for Less Invasive Surfactant Administration Less Invasive Surfactant Administration, known as LISA, is becoming an increasingly important technique in supporting preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. It...
Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) remains one of the most common and challenging conditions in preterm infants. Surfactant replacement therapy has been a cornerstone intervention for decades, traditionally delivered via endotracheal intubation followed by mechanical...
The first hour of a premature baby’s life is known as the ‘Golden Hour’. Research shows that what happens in the first hour of a premature baby’s life is the most crucial and can make a difference between a good outcome and a poor outcome or, the worst-case scenario...
From delivery to the NICU, hospital to hospital and even unplanned home deliveries, neonatal transport is crucial for making sure babies receive the care they need at the right time, and at a unit suited to their needs. Maintaining normothermia during transport has...
Neonatal peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) are commonly used in neonatal intensive care units to administer vasoactive drugs and hyperosmotic solutions such as parenteral nutrition1. These catheters are often maintained in place for 2 to 3 weeks and play...
Neonatal care often necessitates reliable vascular access for the administration of parenteral nutrition, medications, and other critical therapies. The Modified Seldinger Technique (MST) has emerged as a valuable method for inserting neonatal peripherally inserted...
The following article offers an in-depth analysis of the scientific evidence on enteral nutrition in infants, focusing in particular on the methods of administration. Nutrition in infants is a vital component for their development and well-being, and the choice of the...
For the treatment of patients, from adults to infants and premature babies, admitted to healthcare facilities, it is often necessary to place probes and catheters whose use includes the administration of enteral nutrition in addition to the infusion of drugs and other...
