Continually evolving care for newborns
—Neonatal intensive care technology should enable caregivers to deliver life-sustaining, non-invasive, developmental care to neonates in a nurturing and supportive environment. Our goal is to help you improve outcomes during the newborn’s golden hour, transport path, and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay, while supporting you and the baby’s parents with training material and educational resources. We keep on creating outstanding technology and delivering innovative design that is focused on your premature babies – helping to ease workflows, improve therapy and support developmental care and infection prevention practices. That's why we are your Specialist in Critical Care.
Frost & Sullivan selected Dräger for its 2022 Global Neonatal Devices & Neonatal Respiratory Care New Product Innovation Award due to the company’s extensive expertise and best-in-class capabilities - with customer value as a strategic imperative.

Sensory Stimuli: How They Impact Premature Infants
Thermoregulation in the NICU
Careful heat management of newborns is important in every NICU. Although thermoregulation is now known to have an impact on patient outcome, it is an area for further education. Here is an in-depth look at why it’s important to keep NICU babies within the optimal ‘thermo-neutral’ range to provide the best conditions for growth and maturity.
Newborn jaundice treatment
Newborn jaundice treatment – from screening to phototherapy – has changed considerably over the past several years. Read about when and how to screen and the types of gentle and effective treatment available to neonates. Also get some useful information to help families understand jaundice.
Neonatal ventilation and lung protection
Neonatal ventilation is an important part of the care you deliver in the NICU. However, ventilation of preemies and neonates remains a substantial challenge even for the most experienced caregiver. Read about neonatal ventilation strategies and gain a deeper understanding of how to avoid damage to the immature respiratory systems and brains of premature babies.
NICU lighting
When it comes to premature babies, light is a complex matter. You need to know when to avoid too much exposure and brightness and also understand how the right amount of light can have a positive influence on development. Read how creating a supportive light environment in the NICU, with the right care and the right technology, can truly benefit your littlest patients.
Noise in the NICU
For babies in the NICU, noise presents a complex issue. Loud noises can be especially harmful to premature babies, sometimes causing hearing damage and developmental delays. However, newborns respond extremely well to beneficial and comforting sounds. Here we look at good versus bad noises and discuss how to create a nurturing NICU noise environment.
Developmental care in the NICU
NICUs can be stressful environments – for babies, parents and caregivers. Pro-developmental and family-centered care concepts help remove factors that cause stress. Learn how to establish a quiet and calm environment that promotes neural and physiological growth in premature babies, and also helps caregivers feel less stress, so the focus can stay on delivering the best possible care.
NICU workflow design
For neonatal care, standardized processes and automated therapy modes become increasingly important. Our efficient workplaces and innovative devices help provide optimal care for the smallest patients.
Neonatal infection prevention
Babies – especially premature ones – are susceptible to hospital-acquired infections. Our devices are optimized to effectively break the chain of infection, with their design and range of matching disposable accessories and consumables.
