Careful heat management of newborns is an important topic for every NICU. Although thermoregulation is now known to have an impact on patient outcome, it is still an area for further education. Here’s 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 – from screening to phototherapy – has changed considerably over the past several years. Read about when and how to screen for it and the types of gentle and effective treatment that are available for neonates today. Also, get some useful take-away information to help families of jaundiced newborns through a time of anxiety and uncertainties.

Neonatal ventilation is an important part of the care you deliver in the NICU – but ventilation of preemies and neonates remains a substantial challenge for even the most experienced caregiver. Read about neonatal ventilation strategies and gain a deeper understanding on how to avoid damage to the immature respiratory systems and brains of premature babies.

When it comes to premature babies, light is a very complex matter. We need to avoid too much exposure and brightness and yet understand how the right amount of light at the right times can have a positive influence on development. Here, we discuss how creating a supportive light environment in the NICU, with the right care and the right technology, can truly benefit your littlest patients.

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 down the road. However, newborns respond extremely well to beneficial and comforting sounds. Here, we look at good versus bad noises and how to create a nurturing NICU noise environment.

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.

NICUs can be tough environments – for babies, parents and caregivers. Pro-developmental and family-centred care concepts help to remove the factors that cause stress. Learn about how this 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 to the newborns.

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.
