Access NANN's Recorded Presentation on Infant Sleep Safety in the NICU
The deaths of 3,600 infants before their first birthday in the United States each year are attributed to sudden unexpected infant death (SUID). It is the leading cause of postneonatal infant mortality, and NICU graduates are 2 to 3 times more likely to die compared to healthy term infants. It is critical for NICU staff to prepare families to maintain a safe sleep environment before and after hospital discharge. In this session, we will review safe sleep guidelines and explore how to apply this knowledge with culturally competent anticipatory guidance. When we are done, you will be better prepared to promote a consistent safe sleep education program for your unit, because every family should get to celebrate their baby's first birthday.
This presentation is free to all. Enhance your safe sleep knowledge today!
This presentation is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Pampers, a member of the Procter & Gamble Family.
