National Association of Neonatal Nurses
One of the National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs) for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) focuses on preventing infection. Here’s a relevant example:
NPSG: Prevent Infection in Neonates
Goal: Reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections in the NICU.
• Hand hygiene: Adhere to proper hand hygiene protocols before and after patient contact. This is critical to prevent infections in neonates, who are highly susceptible.
• Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) prevention: Ensure that central lines are inserted and maintained following sterile techniques to prevent infections related to catheter use.
These guidelines are part of improving safety and care quality in neonatal units.
