The Neonatology Service aims to demonstrate that the individual family room for newborns is more beneficial than the shared box room.
The awarded study is titled “Perceptions and experiences of parents of premature newborns with an umbilical venous catheter who perform skin-to-skin contact,” and the granted scholarship will allow for its dissemination.
A clinical trial with the prototype of the device shows that the use of this technology improves patient monitoring by nurses and reduces post-surgical complications.
