What are some things that your unit does differently to other wards/units?
Our mostly commonly used enteral feeding tube size is 5Fg inserted only 13cm deep. We insert 1Fr (28G) central lines, and use endotracheal tubes as small as 2.0mm diameter secured at just 5.5cm at the lips. Our babies wear the world’s smallest nappies and blood pressure cuffs. In the NICU parents aren ’ t visitors, they are part of the family unit we care for. A current NICU mum says “you have great space here and modern equipment and great parent facilities”. Our Parent Lounge offers a place to relax, unwind and have some food, away from the clinical environment.
