The Infant and Family Experience in Neonatal Intensive Care: Management of Acute Procedural Pain
3:00-4:00p.m. (ET) Wednesday, January 11, 2023
Although lifesaving, the stress of intensive care on critically ill neonates can negatively impact their outcome and development. The stresses inherent to neonatal intensive care include the need for frequent painful procedures, the pain associated mechanical ventilation and major surgical intervention, and the overall environment of neonatal intensive care, so vastly different than the experience of the infant prior to delivery and to the experience the family hoped for after their infant’s birth.
This first in a three-part series of seminars will focus on how we assess and treat infants undergoing acute painful procedures.
