Complementary Practices
Neonatal care also requires significant management in other areas, such as nutrition, ECMO, cooling, and infection control.
In this section, read more about other practice areas related to the health of premature newborn infants. You can also submit your own content if you have information and resources that would be helpful to other caregivers.

Extracorpeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of life support used when conventional management with mechanical ventilation is failing. - Induced Hypothermia Using a Servo-Controlled Fan
Several trials suggest that hypothermia is beneficial in selected infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

Current design of neonatal incubators allows for the use of the elbow to open and close side ports; however, practice deviates from this and the hands are used to obtain access. - Imaging the Neonate in the Incubator-An Investigation of the Technical, Radiological and Nursing Issues
Modern neonatal incubators incorporate an X-ray tray device into the mattress support structure to facilitate patient examination with minimal disturbance and distress.

Books
Title: Neonatal Nutrition and Metabolism (Hardcover)
Publisher: Cambridge University Press, 2 edition (8/14/2006)
ISBN-10: 0521824559
ISBN-13: 978-0521824552
Description: Neonatal nutrition has a pivotal role in normal child
development and is of even greater importance in the
sick or premature neonate. This substantially revised and
updated new edition includes a comprehensive account
of the basic science, metabolism and nutritional
requirements of the neonate, and a greatly expanded
number of chapters dealing in depth with clinical issues
ranging from IUGR, intravenous feeding, nutritional
therapies for inborn errors of metabolism and care of the
neonatal surgical patient. Evolving from these scientific
and clinical aspects, the volume highlights the important
long-term effects of fetal and neonatal growth on health in
later life.
Title: and Neonatal Critical Care Transport (Paperback)
Publisher: BMJ Books, 1 edition (April 25, 2003)
ISBN-10: 0727917706
ISBN-13: 978-07207917706
Description: Specialised units for critically ill children and infants are
concentrated in the major hospitals. This invaluable
practical guide covers the management of children in a
critical condition who have been admitted to a general
hospital and will need safe transfer to a special unit.
With tertiary care becoming ever more centralised, the
need for clear information on safe transport is becoming
increasingly important.
