They are the tiniest, most fragile of patients, and NICU babies pose a very unique challenge for clinicians performing vascular access procedures.

Did you know?

• One study showed that NICU patients are exposed to an average of 14 painful procedures daily, with the smaller and sicker infants receiving these procedures more frequently.*
• “Painful procedures” for neonates include: needle insertion, suctioning and tape removal.*
• Painful procedures adversely affect infant heart rate and oxygen levels potentially delaying care further while these return to normal.*
