Infant Sleep Safety in the NICU: The Successful Transition Home - 1.0 CE
3600 infants die each year in the US before their first birthday due to Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID). It is the leading cause of postneonatal infant mortality and NICU graduates are 2-3 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 then 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.
