The challenges of providing a nurturing environment in the NICU
Develop a nurturing environment for newborns I 5
back to table of contents
•• During a stay in the neonatal intensive care unit the premature
baby is exposed to a range of different noise sources.
In neonates, noise exposure >60 dB has been associated with
consistent sleep disturbance.2
• • Long-term follow-up studies of preterm infants have reported
increased prevalence of speech delay, language related
problems, and a wide range of learning disorders that may be
related to auditory sensory overload.3
• • Studies have shown that harsh lighting raises the level of
cortisol, shortens sleep duration, inhibits the release of growth
hormones, and disrupts the development of a circadian rhythm.5
• • Current NICU environments are not condusive to delivering
Kangaroo Care (KC), which studies have shown plays an
out-sized role in neuroprotective neonatal development.3
• • Studies have shown that including the parents in the care
process has had a tremendous positive impact on clinical
outcome and overall parents satisfaction.1,3,5,6,7,9,10,11
Now, the challenge is not just saving lives, but helping these
babies to thrive.

Hypothermia
Hypoglycaemia Hypoxia
Thermoregulation is a basic, yet crucial practice, in particular for premature babies who cannot regulate their own body temperature. Routine nursing procedures cause an alteration in environmental temperature, creating thermal stress for infants, as do surgical procedures in the OR, or during long procedures in the NICU. Thermal stress is correlated with declines in body weight and affect metabolism, O2 intake, and respiratory rate and can ultimately lead to Hypoglycaemia and Hypoxia.13,14
Why Thermoregulation
matters

Since the early 50’s we
at Dräger have always
been the first to develop
innovations for improved
neonatal care.
Thermoregulation: How Dräger has redefined thermoregulation in the NICU
The avoidance of cold or heat stress is one of the major targets for thermoregulation applications in the NICU. A Thermo neutral environment reduces energy expenditure and associated morbidity and mortality.13,14 Our microclimate technologies allow caregivers to maintain an ideal mix of temperature, humidity, and oxygen for their babies.
The relevance of Thermoregulation
Develop a nurturing environment for newborns I 9
back to table of contents
IMPROVING CLINICAL OUTCOMES
In a neonatal intensive care unit, every day is critical for the survival of the smallest patients. This means that time-saving and easier workflows are crucial.
Automated Therapy modes such as weaning, mattress heating, skin temperature modes, air modes, and humidity helps free up nurses time, reduce stress, for the neonatal nurse and improve the micro-climate for preemies. Based on estimations gathered from various NICU nurses, Babyleo’s automated weaning therapy can save nurses an estimated 60 minutes per infant
of NICU nursing time in the first year. This is based on an example scenario of 350 infants per year weaned to open crib in an example NICU.* With its potential to free up nurse time in the NICU, automated therapy modes such as auto-weaning can therefore have the potential to play a constructive role in improved clinical outcomes, by allowing the nurse to spend more time with the family and care of the infant. *See appendix for details.
Easier workflow: Care centered workplaces
From delivery to discharge “One baby, one bed” throughout the neonatal patient pathway
Both inter- and intra hospital transportation of fragile infants bears the risk of significant complications and poses significant challenges. Our range of products for the L&D, NICU and for transportation support the clinical patient pathway and enable a developmental care-friendly environment to support all of the complex needs of the developing infant.
We at Dräger can support you in creating your perfect neonatal environment with customized designs – from consulting to project management to installation. Our flexible concepts can be tailored to your clinical needs to enhance efficiency when it comes to workflow management.

matters D
-112
55-2
019
CLINICAL GUIDELINES & BEST PRACTICES:
The American Academy of Pediatrics and The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommend that NICUs employ cycled lighting. The most recent Cochrane review recommends a day time (12 hours) light intensity in the high end of the recommended range and a night time (12 hours) light intensity in the low end of the recommended range*.21,22 Exposure to cyclical light signifi-cantly reduces crying and agitation in very small premature babies (30.6 ± 0.95 weeks), while simultaneously showing faster weight gain and greater daytime activity for these babies (in comparison to those exposed to dimmed light)22
Premature babies are sensitive to light —
and the more premature the baby, the more sensitive
he or she is.5
* Ambient lighting levels in infant spaces shall be adjustable through a range of at least 10 to no more than 600 lux (approximately 1 to 60 foot candles), as measured on a horizontal plane at each bedside.8
Premature babies need an environment that promotes their development and intense light should be avoided. Several studies have shown that a supportive light environment reduces the level of cortisol, extends sleep duration, stimulates the release of growth hormones, and encourages the early development of a circadian rhythm21,22.

POSITIVE SOUND STIMULATIONStudies have shown that music therapy interventions facilitated by board-certified music therapists contribute to shorter hospital stays for premature infants among many other developmental and medical benefits.24,25
Shorter length of stay drives savings for healthcare organizations, and increases revenue generation since it frees up beds for additional patients.
The Babyleo’s new technology enables parents to play music, recordings of their voices, and even a mother’s heartbeat so infants aren’t deprived of familiar and meaningful sounds that support auditory development. Babyleo enables care providers to deliver safe music therapy in the NICU.
One study shows that among preterm infants receiving multimodal neurologic enhancement interventions for 15-20 minutes twice a week, compared to those who did not receive the therapy went home sooner. Please see this study for guidelines on dosing and schedule for intervention of music therapy.26

ENSURING STAFF SATISFACTION
Ensuring Staff Satisfaction &Easier workflowEfficient and consistent workplace and device design help to provide optimal care for the smallest patients. Smooth processes become increasingly important to optimize procedures. Babyleo’s design and automated features help free up staff time and protect babies.
Weaning protocols vary widely, but the weaning process typically lasts on average from two to four days. During this time the infant’s temperature must be monitored frequently, and the incubator temperature adjusted as needed. Automating this process saves small increments of time that quickly add up, significantly alleviating the burden on nursing and improving staff satisfaction.
Easier workflow:
Why automated weaning matters
Weaning problems, exhibited by thermal instability or slowed weight gain, require significant nursing resources. In more severe cases, a differential diagnosis is required to rule out conditions such as sepsis or infection. Typically in such cases lab tests and imaging studies get ordered, adding further to the nursing burden and cost of care, not to mention stress on the infant and parents.

skin-skin experience.”
Dr. Rajan Wadhawan, Chief Medical Officer and Medical Director of Neonatology at Advent Health (formerly Florida Hospital for Children)
TESTIMONIALS
“Nine times out of ten, preterm infants are better cared for in a closed system, but some therapeutic
treatments, for example, emergency intervention or a surgical procedure, can only be performed when an open care system is used. The Bab-yleo allows a combination of both modes. Es-pecially for small, sensitive premature babies,
it is so important that we do not have to transfer these children from one therapy device to another,
e.g. from a primary care unit to a transport incubatorand then to an incubator on the ward. With Babyleo, allthis is possible in one.”

Clinical & Time saving Impact Analysis 23
KAPITEL | UNTERKAPITEL | 01
Caring for preemies is a constant and delicate balance. At Dräger, we want to make sure that your top priority is caring for the babies. With our new IncuWarmer Babyleo TN500 the maintenance schedule has been downsized, allowing for reduced costs and device down time.
Babyleo® TN500 Service Summary
OUR SERVICE SOLUTIONDräger’s Babyleo TN500 has been designed with reduced ownership costs in mind, this is why the maintenance schedule has decreased to 12 months and the scheduled maintenance parts required have also been dramatically downsized. This not only saves money, but also the time taken to maintain the Babyleo, enabling the IncuWarmer to do what it does best... care for preemies.
Dräger are able to offer a service contract to suit everybody's needs. Ranging from a TotalCare package, where we take full responsibility for the maintenance and repair of the device, all the way through to our PartnerCare contract, where we train and equip you with everything you need to maintain the device yourself in-house.
EASE OF ACCESS FOR SERVICINGDräger’s Babyleo TN500 incorporates ‘Truck Mode’ making access to the inside of the Babyleo TN500 easily accessible; just two screws have to be removed. The bassinet can be tilted aside to gain access to electronics, heating, the humidifier, etc. making servicing of the Babyleo cost effective, whilst improving access and engineering time.

The Benefits of Automated Weaning:Example Clinical & Financial Impact
In addition, Babyleo‘s supports weaning protocols with data ana-lysis features that can be exported by the clinician. For NICUs considering early-weaning approaches, these data analysis fea-tures help neonatologists make data-driven decisions based on prior patient weaning histories. As weaning protocols get refined over time the NICU can potentially reduce infants’ length of stay (LoS), providing both clinical and developmental benefits, while also alleviating NICU capacity issues.Analysis, assumptions and supporting research are provided below.
INTRODUCTION
Babyleo is the first IncuWarmer to continually stabilize tempera-ture while still providing an easier workflow, noise and light mo-nitoring, family centered care and excellent infection prevention.
The weaning function allows you to automatically wean the baby from the warm environment in the incubator. You can set the de-sired temperature you would like the baby to tolerate and it will incrementally decrease the temperature in set time intervals.
The automated weaning mode improves workflow efficiency and reduces variability of care. This yields potential savings in nursing time. In the medium to long term, using Babyleo’s built-in data collection and analysis helps NICU staff evolve their protocols toward weaning to open crib earlier, when shown to be clinically appropriate.
NEAR-TERM IMPACT
Automated weaning can free up significant nursing time in two ways. First, it can perform the routine weaning tasks more effi-ciently. And second, it can reduce the variability of care delivery, thereby improving weaning effectiveness.
EFFICIENT WEANING
Weaning protocols vary widely, but the weaning process typi-cally lasts from two to four days. During this time the infant’s temperature must be monitored frequently, and the incubator temperature adjusted as needed. Automating this process saves small increments of time that add up to hours. An analysis of these time savings, conducted in partnership with NICU staff at various US hospitals, is shown in the below-standing Table. It found that automation could save an estimated 60 minutes or 1 hour of nurse time per weaning just related to routine tempe-rature checks and adjustments. The estimated time for the 350 infants in this example scenario adds up to 350 hours of nurse time per year.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The rise in NICU volumes, combined with skilled nursing shortages, pose serious challenges for healthcare providers. This analysis looks at the potential ways automated weaning, using Dräger’s Babyleo IncuWarmer, can alleviate these pressures and deliver clinical and financial benefits for an example hospital NICU.
Babyleo is the first IncuWarmer to continually stabilize temperature throughout the automated weaning process. This unique function improves workflow and frees nursing time. The analysis estimated that it can save an estimated 350 hours of NICU nursing time in the first year.
