The power in our hands: integrating developmental care into neonatal transport.
Research has shown that infants who receive developmentally supportive care during the course of medical treatment in the NICU have improved long-term developmental outcomes. Developmentally sound interventions should be implemented as early as possible in the hospital course and can be incorporated successfully into the care provided during transport of sick neonates. If developmental interventions are planned and implemented thoughtfully and consistently throughout the transport course, it may be possible to reduce or prevent neurodevelopmental complications.
