AT ONE END OF THE NICU spectrum of patients is the acutely ill premature or term baby. This is the patient who requires the fast-paced and intellectually stimulating nursing care that often attracts NICU nurses to the specialty. At the other end of the spectrum is the chronically ill baby.

Unplanned Extubation in the NICU
Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic & Neonatal Nursing, 2013Unplanned extubation (UE) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a significant patient safety and quality control issue. I describe the implementation of a quality improvement program using multifactorial prevention strategies, including staff education, identification of neonates at risk for UE, extubation and weaning, standardization of ...

Severe Thrombocytopenia in the NICU

Primary Immunodeficiency in the NICU
NeoReviews, 2019Primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs) are genetic diseases that lead to increased susceptibility to infection. Hundreds of PIDs have now been described, but a select subset commonly presents in the neonatal period. Neonates, especially premature newborns, have relative immune immaturity that makes it challenging to differentiate PIDs from intrinsic

Seminars in PerinatologyMetabolic emergencies in neonates can present with nonspecific signs and symptoms. Sudden acute deterioration in a neonate should prompt consideration of metabolic disease. Common metabolic emergencies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) include hypoglycemia, hyperammonemia, hyperbilirubinemia, metabolic acidosis, adrenal insufficiency, and ...

NICU NURSES WITH LEADERSHIP skills must be able to recognize trends in peer behavior, values, and problem-solving techniques, as well as changes in culture as the staff evolves. Newly licensed nurses mature through predictable developmental phases. In fact, the similarities between orientees and preterm infants are remarkable. The amount of experience (

Antibiotic Resistance in the NICU
Neonatal Network, 2012Antimicrobial treatment is a mainstay therapy in the neo-natal intensive care unit (NICU). Given the lack of specificity for clinical symptoms of infection in the newborn and the overwhelming impact of infection with rapid multisystem dissemination, NICU providers tend to treat early while awaiting laboratory results. With the high vulnerability of our

With an increasing number of complex devices being used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) around the world, the alarms generated by these devices become a major burden on both patients and staff, leading to increased cardiorespiratory instability in patients and higher stress levels as well as a desensitisation to alarms (‘alarm fatigue’) among ...
