👶 Understanding Neonatal Care 👶 The term "neonatal" refers to newborns, particularly those requiring medical attention - caring for babies who arrive early, have low birth weight, or need specialised treatment due to various medical conditions. Keeping baby close and keeping baby warm is at the core of what the mOm is all about. There are usually four distinct levels of care, tailored to the specific needs of each baby: 🔹 Intensive Care: For the most vulnerable babies, born very premature or with extremely low birth weight. 🔹 High Dependency Care: For babies needing substantial observation and support, including those recovering from serious illness. 🔹 Low Dependency Care: For stable, growing babies who don’t require constant observation. 🔹 Transitional Care: For babies who need some medical treatment but can stay with their mothers. Often located within the maternity area of the hospital but should be seen as a level of care and not a location. Our device ensures that every baby gets the care they need to thrive. Portable, easy to use with intelligent power and no servicing requirements, it can be used across the care pathway from the birthing room to postnatal and neonatal care no matter where the clinical setting is located.

📊Extremely preterm infants (EPI), born before 28 weeks gestation, represent a unique and significant population in NICUs. Despite their small numbers, they account for a disproportionate share of neonatal deaths, presenting unique challenges in end-of-life care (EOLC). 🧠 From antenatal decision-making to delivery room care and NICU management, the complexities surrounding EOLC for EPIs are vast and multifaceted. These challenges are not just clinical but ethical, involving complex decisions about whether to continue life-sustaining treatments. 👨👩👧 Our latest #ResearchNews delves into the practical and ethical challenges of EOLC for extremely preterm infants, exploring antenatal counselling, delivery room practices, and NICU decision-making. It addresses why tailored approaches are essential for these vulnerable infants and their families, emphasising the importance of comprehensive guidelines and empathetic support. ▶️ Learn more about the intricacies of end-of-life care for extremely preterm infants and the need for compassionate, informed care: https://lnkd.in/dDk5DfAr #ESCNH #PretermBirth #PalliativeCare

We take pride in announcing the release of the new Clinical Standard for Maternity Services V3.0 after 6 years, set to replace the current version V2.1 on March 1, 2024. This updated version brings about significant changes compared to its predecessor. First and foremost, we've revamped the concept, limiting access to clinical certification to accredited organizations only. The standard is now divided into four major sections: 1. Antenatal, Labor, and Delivery; 2. Recovery and Neonatal ICU; 3. Neonatal Complications; and 4. Postnatal Care. We've streamlined the requirements by eliminating a substantial portion that already exists in the accreditation standard, focusing solely on clinical requirements integral to maternity services. This makes the standard more user-friendly for all involved in the maternity process. The primary focus remains on the safety of both mothers and newborns, aligning with the goal of the new revision. We believe we have successfully achieved that. Thanks to all who contributed to this endeavour. We Know Healthcare! #standards #maternity #certification #clinical

✨ Optimised NICU units support improved outcomes! Utilising specific design elements enhances neonatal care by fostering the 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲'𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 during their stay. 𝐄𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 can improve both, short- and long-term outcomes for preterm infants. This is why the design of neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is an essential part of preterm health. Design suggestions include: each 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬, incorporating a comfortable chair and a hospital bed for parents adjacent to the infant's cot. Furthermore, dedicated 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 for families, as well as 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐬 are recommended.

Welcoming your baby home from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a momentous occasion filled with both joy and apprehension. As a parent of a premature or medically fragile infant, navigating post-NICU care can feel like stepping into uncharted territory. However, understanding the significance of post-NICU care is crucial for your baby's continued development and wellness. Post-NICU care marks the transition phase after discharge, focusing on ensuring your baby's progress aligns with expectations. As the frontline advocate for your baby, regular consultations with healthcare providers, adherence to medical plans, and vigilant monitoring of your baby’s health, feeding, and sleep patterns are essential. Here are some pre-discharge tips to ease the transition home: -Rewrite and confirm your discharge plan with your medical team for clarity. -Keep all medical records organized and accessible. -Check any necessary equipment before discharge and have a contact number for assistance. -Consider CPR training for emergency situations and ensure all caregivers are informed about safety measures, especially regarding illnesses like COVID, RSV, and flu. These steps lay a foundation for continued development and a smooth transition home. To learn more about post-NICU care, click on the link in our bio or visit us at nayacare.org
