A robust NICU protocol presentation serves as more than just a lecture; it is a reference tool for the medical team. By focusing on standardized care—especially during the "Golden Hour" and respiratory transitions—clinicians can significantly improve outcomes for their smallest patients.
The "Golden Hour" refers to the first 60 minutes of postnatal life. Protocols here focus on preventing heat loss, which is directly linked to mortality in VLBW (Very Low Birth Weight) infants. : Target range of 36.5∘C36.5 raised to the composed with power C 37.5∘C37.5 raised to the composed with power C
