Patient Safety in NICU
Ensure the safety in a tense environmentNeonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), as a highly sensitive and technologically-driven environment, signals the importance of lack of situation awareness as a cause of mistakes and accidents. Adverse events and near misses resulting from human errors can cause morbidity and, in some cases, lead to permanent disability and death. By design, GE Healthcare solutions may help NICU staff to minimize the errors and mitigate the risks, creating a safe environment in terms of infection control, reduced clinical workload and better caregiver/parents-baby interaction, for patients, parents and professionals.

Partnership to help ensure every baby has the best start
From 1st of June, 2020, GE Healthcare Maternal Infant Care division and European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants, EFCNI, have officially kicked off the platinum partnership. GE Healthcare and the European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants, EFCNI, announce their collaboration to achieve their common goal: Preserving today the potential of tomorrowThermoregulation differences
Evaluating thermoregulation capabilities of newborn hybrid incubators based on technology, testing and track record.
This white paper contains several substantial claims and additional information on the clinical research:
Giraffe OmniBed provides thermal and physiological stability across bed states3, Improvements of at least 15% in clinical outcomes (such as body temperature4, growth velocity, weight stabilization) and offers 0.49 degrees higher temperature during intrahospital transport (Giraffe OmniBed without power)5

Thermal Protection of the Premature Infant
Summary: Where are we now and where should we
Robin B. Dail, PhD, RN, FAAN Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs & Professor University of South Carolina, College of Nursing
This document shows thermal physiology in the premature infant, mechanisms of heat loss, and provide a review of the way we control the thermal environment of the premature infant.
This is an excellent educational piece that addresses key concepts to provide the clinician with guidance for considerations that must be taken when managing individual patient thermal needs.
