- Provide CPR and emergency resuscitation as needed.
-
Family Support and Education:
- Offer emotional support to families dealing with the stress of having an infant in the NICU, helping them understand medical procedures and interventions.
- Educate families on neonatal care practices, including feeding, infection prevention, and preparing for discharge.
- Facilitate parent-infant bonding, encouraging parents to participate in care, including skin-to-skin contact (kangaroo care) when appropriate.
-
Collaboration with Multidisciplinary Team:
- Work in collaboration with neonatologists, pediatricians, respiratory therapists, dietitians, and social workers to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan for each infant.
- Communicate effectively with the NICU team regarding patient progress, treatment changes, and concerns.
- Participate in rounds, discussions, and case reviews to ensure optimal care is provided.
-
Infection Control and Safety:
- Adhere to infection control protocols to minimize risk to vulnerable neonates, including hand hygiene, sterile techniques, and appropriate use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Monitor for signs of infection, including sepsis, and promptly notify the neonatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
-
Documentation and Record-Keeping:
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date patient records, including assessments, interventions, vital signs, lab results, and progress notes.
- Document all patient interactions, interventions, and changes in condition in the Electronic Health Record (EHR).
- Ensure compliance with hospital policies, legal standards, and neonatal care guidelines.
-
Professional Development and Education:
- Participate in ongoing education and training to stay up to date with the latest advancements in neonatal care, including neonatal resuscitation, respiratory management, and infection control practices.
